Strategic Competitiveness

Normally, when a professor goes out of town the class is canceled. Dr.Brey had a different idea though... he sent our biomaterials class to hear the dean of the business school speak about Strategic Competiitiveness. When he was first telling us this, I was rather, unenthused. I brought my knitting thinking I'd be sitting listening to someone ramble about the market or something along those lines.

I was completely wrong! The dean was interesting, and the lecture was interesting. He spoke first about how the medium of teaching has to adjust to meet the learning style of the students. He continued with outlining what being strategically competitive meant, which consist of six parts I'll try and remember: Creativity, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Sustainability, Incisiveness, and Innovation. It was really intriguing lecture. Well, the shirt and free food did help a little too, but even without that, it was good. It's exciting to be apart of the momentum here at IIT. It's also really exciting to see that change is happening here, there is an energy of forward thinking and a willingness to try something new. I enjoy that; I don't like feeling stuck in a rut. Turns out it wasn't such a boring lecture after all.

Impressed,
