Last week, our MBA 583 class took a field trip to Cleveland.  For those of you who do not know, MBA 583 is a series of professional development seminars and events during the bulk of our MBA program.  This was exciting for me, being from the Cleveland area and having a couple friends that work downtown.  I was able to get a hold of both of them on the phone during the bus ride and got tips on the traffic conditions.  I also had the opportunity to have some extended conversations with classmates and Dr. Mota.  Visiting the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank and Avery Dennison was very enjoyable and informational.
