IACBE's 20th Anniversary Conference

IACBE is contributor organization that helps lead colleges and universities to a higher level of academic performance. Its accreditation program offers the opportunity to think more systematically about the business school model and raise curriculum quality to ensure students are gaining the most from their education. The 20th Anniversary Conference in San Francisco brought together a wide range of business colleges to share ideas on how to foster business education.

IACBE defines themselves as... "The International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) is the leading outcomes-based accrediting organization for business, management, and accounting programs in student-centered colleges, universities, and other higher education institutions throughout the world. The IACBE exists to promote and recognize excellence in business education."

Attending colleges learned about retention strategies, assessment, innovation in business education, learning methods, faculty evaluation, entrepreneurship and much more. The conference venue fostered a collaborative environment where university leadership meet and discussed new ideas and concepts. They shared their ideas and learned about what worked, and what didn't, at other colleges around the world.

Keynote speakers were also present to discuss the important business and social issues. Jennifer Kushell, the founder and CEO of Your Success Now, discussed inspiring young students to follow their own career paths and achieve success. Dr. John L. Green, Founder and President Emeritus of IACBE, came out to share some interesting "tid bits" about the organization.

These conferences help practitioners gain new knowledge of what is trending at business schools around the country. They also encourage greater knowledge of business school operations and the development of better methods of helping students learn. As this knowledge is gained from attendance it is brought back to their respective universities to make meaningful improvements.

He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m
