Pat and I went to King's College today. I'm just blown away by these small schools; I'm so impressed. While sitting in the cafeteria having lunch, the president of the college came over to us because he overheard us talking about baseball. He started a conversation, and we chatted a bit. We had a few questions, he asked us to wait a minute, and came back with the Athletic Director. This is the truth: I've never once, in four years, had a conversation with the principal at Pat's school, and here I was, a nobody, yet the president of this college took the time to talk with me. We are blown away by their business school, and the professors. The founder of MCI, Bill McGowan, started a business school there some eleven years ago. It's a fabulous program, state of the art facility with a 99% job placement rate. The head of the accounting department networks with all the major accounting firms; she has the FBI's business office on her speed dial as they attend the job fairs at King's. She placed many students with them. She told us, she, personally gets to know the students by about the third week of class, and can tell which discipline within the business school is a fit for them. She's seldom wrong. It blew me away; sign me up!
