In a recent interview, comedian and writer Mel Brooks said it best
"We can get through this stuff…” Although, we are going through
challenging and unprecedented times with COVID19, certain aspects
of our lives continue to go on. This includes working (from home
for many of us), cooking and eating (a lot in my case), and
adapting to new environments and technologies. This may also mean
developing new skills either formally or informally. With an
uncertain economy and job market, you may be...

I used to tell myself that once I got into business school I would

for me, Liautaud’s IDS courses were an option. I waded into IDS
last semester with an Introduction to...
