I was recently summons to participate in Grand Jury. Many people gave me pointers on how to get out of it. But I was not sure I wanted to get out of it. What a learning opportunity! I felt like it was my civic duty. While I work at an institution of higher learning I do not always have the opportunity to engage in learning experiences like this one.
I was right, boy am I learning. At the same time it is reinforcing the decision for me, to do what I do. I was lucky to bump into a JD/MBA alumni. He was practicing law. It was great to watch him in action. To see that the learning he did here at UB, in the MBA and JD programs, was working for him.
The MBA program has afforded me the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people. People that I still keep in touch with and remember when I run into them. This is the network we try to educate our students about as well. While UB MBA students are busy learning they are also building an enormous, irreplaceable network. What an opportunity.
So, I will continue learning through my Grand Jury experience. I will build my network with my co-jurors and I will appreciate knowing that I have chosen the right career path. I recommend that you do the same-Learn, Network and Appreciate what you are doing.
