I m a blue-collar kind of player. I come to the ballpark everyday to get the job done. Rick, talk to me about community involvement at our school. Bifurcated at best. Everybody has a very busy schedule.
Some people put a big premium on community service.
Others view it as a drag. Everyone I talk to thinks community service is important, but it is still challenging to engage all students. One of the reasons why Wharton is continually rated as the number one business school is the high percentage involvement of its student body in community service. I believe this is something Columbia Business School needs to strive for. Our strengths are the Office of Student Activities, which has helped a great deal in helping to bring forward community service into the minds of the student body.
