Join current Darden students for a fall Tech Trek reception!

Prospective Full-Time MBA students are invited to join the Director of China Initiatives, Doris Cao, and Darden Professor of Business Administration, Marc Modica, in Japan for a networking event. This is a great opportunity to learn more about Darden's MBA program and step into the community. 
A member of the Darden community since 1998, Marc's academic areas of expertise are Management Communication and Bargaining and Negotiating. He’s taught and consulted for a variety of clients in locations including Dubai, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, Brazil, China, India, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Japan. Before coming to the University of Virginia, Modica taught for 10 years at the International University of Japan, where he also served as associate dean of the degree program in international management, director of international exchange programs and co-director of the school’s intensive international executive program.
 

Join Darden Admissions and Professor Gabrielle "Gabe" Adams for a faculty thought leadership webinar series for prospective students.
Gabrielle Adams is a behavioral scientist, with a joint appointment as an associate professor of public policy (Batten) and business administration (Darden: Leadership and Organizational Behavior area). Professor Adams studies the processes and dynamics that give rise to 'good' decisions, policies, and conditions in organizations. Her research focuses on psychological inefficiencies: the factors that cause friction and prevent people from understanding one another's viewpoints or making sound decisions. For example, why is it so difficult to resolve interpersonal conflict? Why do attempts to resolve ethical transgressions backfire? Her most recent research on design and problem-solving shows that when improving ideas, objects, or situations, people default to considering what they might add and only occasionally and effortfully consider what they could subtract.

Chats are small group events for prospective students who are interested in learning more about Darden. Join an Admissions representative or another member of the Darden community to learn more about the application process, the case method style of learning, and how to determine if Darden is your best fit.
