Yale SOM Welcomes Master of Advanced Management Students

August 22, 2014

The MAM program, open only to students from Global Network schools, features 62 students from 18 schools this year.

The Yale School of Management welcomed its largest MAM class to date this week, with 62 students coming from 18 Global Network schools. The one-year program, open to students from the Global Network, kicked-off orientation this week, with a visit to the Yale Art Gallery. Students were assigned to find art from the Yale collection to describe their leadership style and personal philosophies. 

“The art was really an instrument for self-reflection because something in the piece would make you tell a story from your own life, while standing in front of the group. We started the process of giving and getting feedback from the nitty gritty – like you’re shuffling on your feet – to ‘you start poorly and finish strongly.’ Or vice versa. It started a feedback loop with each other in a subject matter that wasn’t business.” –Trevor Whelan, MAM ‘15, UCD-Smurfit ‘14.
