Alumni Update
This month there won't be a single alumnus to feature - instead, we're announcing an alumni event here at CIMBA.
On March 1st at 10 a.m., we will be hosting the first official CIMBA MBA Alumni Association (CAA) meeting.
We have limited the invitations to all local alumni, and the intent is to elect a governing board and set expectations, goals and other principles for the association.
We are hoping to be able to create chapters in all other countries where CIMBA alumni have a significant population.
If you are interested in participating in the event or becoming a coordinator for your region, we encourage you to contact Cristina Turchet (turchet@cimba.it).
Please let us hear from you if you have ideas, suggestions or would like to contribute to this initiative!

CIMBA MBA  The MBA students played host to a group of post-graduate psychology students from the University of Kansas, welcoming them by preparing and serving a full dinner in the CIMBA dining room.
The visitors and their professors spent a week at CIMBA, taking part in a Kepner-Tregoe course and other CIMBA core components as well as indulging in Asolo's wonderful food. The MBA students were glad for the opportunity for some cross-industry dialogue and thoroughly enjoyed the intersession company.

A-B-C: Al's Book Club
February's selection for Al's Book Club is:
"Playing for Pizza"
by John Grisham
During vacations, I prefer to relax and read easy books. So for Christmas, I picked up this one simply because I heard the story was set in Italy. The plot is simple: an American NFL quarterback, after a disasterous season, comes to play in Italy for the Parma Panthers. I recommend the reading to all the US alumni, but also to the Italians. Grisham does a great job of describing Italy and its culture. I am sure you will laugh as you recognize yourself in many of the described situations. |
