On leadership ... and collaboration

Over the past few months, I've been working on an article with Darden professor, Ryan Quinn. In about 800 words, it discusses the role our culture played in creating the current financial crisis, and the small, personal choices we can make to help enact change. The piece was published in The Washington Post's "On Leadership" section last Friday: http://views.washingtonpost.com/leadership/guestinsights/2009/12/four-questions-for-changing-culture.html
Writing it was a great experience. Not only did I get to try my hand at a new style of writing, I got the opportunity to work closely with a professor who just a year before had stood before my Section B class and cold-called me! To me, this is a testament to the wonderful relationships students and professors can form here at Darden; relationships of creativity and collaboration.

Hi,
I'm a reporter for a major daily newspaper and am thinking about applying to the MBA program at UVA. Would you mind chatting with me about it over e-mail or phone? My e-mail is dmarrero01@hotmail.com
I need to decide pretty quickly if I want to go for it since the application is due in a little over a week.
Thanks,
Diana
