Working for the Weekend

#207 - Moving Up and Moving On: Reflecting on Lessons Learned As We Transition

Episode Summary

As the school year comes to a close at Michigan Ross, what are some enduring take-aways from the Weekend MBA Program?

Episode Notes

In today’s episode, host Mawa — who’s preparing to graduate from the program — talks with two 2019 alumni, Emma and Ben, along with her co-host Suraj, who’s transitioning from his first to second year in the program.

They discuss some of the most important lessons they’ve learned, including the importance of relational vs. operational knowledge, the value of staying in touch with classmates post-graduation, and their best advice for current students. Also, Mawa offers a few parting thoughts as she transitions out of the program and out of her role as founding host of “Working for the Weekend.”
