International Leadership Council Panel Discussions TODAY

From 1:40-3:15 today, all students are welcome to attend a panel discussion with members of the Monterey Institute International Leadership Council. MBA students should find the discussions of Social and Corporate Entrepreneurship (taking place in Morse B104) and Business & Emerging Markets (taking place in the McCone Boardroom) to be particularly interesting and pertinent to their business studies at MIIS.
