IBS starts ‘Green’ MBA

In a press release Wednesday, the Brandeis International Business School announced the creation of an MBA in Socially Responsible Business or the “Global Green MBA.” The creation of the “Global Green MBA” comes in the wake of other university efforts and initiatives to increase environmental sustainability, including most recently President Reinharz’s creation of a committee […]

With the growing imperative to address pressing issues of global warming and sustainability, the Brandeis International Business School has created an MBA in Socially Responsible Business.

Health and Human Services abandons health, humans

If you’re like me, you occasionally get sick. When this happens, I find that going to the doctor is the best option. You go in, he or she asks you where it hurts and what kind of animal bit you, and you get a prescription to cure your ills or a pat on the back […]


Book of Matthew: My Sarah Palin hit piece

Sarah who? Yep… that was the first thing I thought when I heard about John McCain’s vice-presidential decision. I suppose I should have been paying more attention, but then again, all the media speculation had sickened me to the point where I spent my summer ignoring it all and just waiting for the choice to […]


An all-purpose GPS for life

I’m the kind of person who needs an all-purpose GPS, a tiny electronic box to steer me. Whether my destination is the beach or my first post-college job, I need something to direct me left at the light, right at the roadblock. I told this matter-of-factly to Becky and Eve one day, and they laughed, […]


One Tall Voice: Of war and peace

For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to serve my country in our nation’s armed forces. This passion did not stem from the sentiments of youth, but was rather flowing from a sincere and unyielding patriotism. I had filled out an application to be inducted into the ROTC during my senior […]


Shopping for Truth: Teen pregnancy

Many people probably weren’t surprised when Republican Vice Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin announced the birth of her fifth child. But they sure are now that her own seventeen year old child is expecting a child of her own. We expect to hear that grown women are with child. We might not even be surprised to […]


Sexiled: Head games

When I started this article, the only thing I could think is that I now have an awkward hook-up story. But then I realized that all my hook-ups are actually very awkward. Listen – I do not play games. In a game, there is a winner and a loser. It’s chance. Well, chances are, I […]


The benefits of a disaster

In a political season riddled with many surprises, it seems almost typical that a natural disaster would interrupt one of the most critical moments of the political campaign. This week was supposed to be John McCain’s chance to make his case to the country that he stands for the right kind of change and that […]


A summer of Olympic proportions:

Watching Bo Derek appear at a US embassy press event. Getting followed by undercover police. Covering one of this summer’s biggest worldwide events. It’s all in a day’s work for Hiatt World of Work intern Eli Harrington ’09. Harrington spent eight weeks this past summer covering the 28th summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Last semester, […]
