New international students chart their course at Fall 2023 Orientation

Joining MBA and MiM courses this semester is a new crop of eager and enthusiastic international students, some of whom will be enrolled as degree-seeking candidates, and others on exchange from 52 different exchange partner schools, bringing the total number of international students enrolled at our institution to 136 students from 41 countries.

Orientation is where these students meet each other for the first time and learn about their roles and responsibilities as participants in our school's case method courses, in which the learning done is collaborative, communal, and can even be competitive in nature. Student representatives also joined the session to welcome new students and introduce the International Student Representative Council.

Facilitating this year's Case Method Orientation was Prof. Ricardo Lim, who led the freshmen through a case discussion based on an alumni case written by one of our graduates from the class of 2019. Participants on campus were joined by those taking part remotely, and, under Prof. Lim's guidance, dove into a discussion establishing the main contrasting viewpoints, debating the way forward for the case protagonist with gusto.
