Learning from Leaders and Scholars


Today was rich with educational opportunities to learn from international businessmen and scholars. This morning, we were honored by guest presentations from Mr. Dave Risser, General Manager of Marathon Oil, and from his Poland associates, Josh and Ken. These savvy and successful international businessmen shared information about not only the oil business, but also about the political, social, economic, and cultural impact of their work around the world. I think we may have 13 students standing in line to intern with this amazing company after today's lecture!

This afternoon, we made our way to Jagiellonian University where we heard a fascinating lecture from Dr. Jacek Klich, professor of economics and management, researcher, and Polish journalist for several Czech newspapers. In addition, his graduate research fellow, Georges Jurkowski, presented his research about the entrepreneurial environment in Poland.

Tomorrow we head back to the Czech Republic - specifically to Brno. Stay tuned for more adventures!
