Top #MBA Tweets Spotlight: #YaleSOM

Yale School of Management has one of the major Round 1 deadlines this week, so we are taking a look at what they have been up to in this edition of Top #MBA Tweets Spotlight.

Students gathered for an important memorial:

Yale marked 17th anniversary of September 11 attacks w/ a ceremony at @yalelibrary, which included a student veteran's reflection, reading of names of the 9 #YaleAlumni who perished on 9/11, playing of “Taps,” Yale Police honor guard, & prayer from Univ. Chaplain. pic.twitter.com/QsbxAE9ALy

The school also received some fantastic media coverage:

There were some sobering insights from professors and industry professionals:

“Maybe it’s right that no one went to jail [after the financial crisis] because in fact no one committed a crime & being stupid is not a crime… but should no board member of any major financial institution have been publicly humiliated?” —@LHSummers https://t.co/T35z7QXnlm pic.twitter.com/qlkzOU28MG

The Yale School of Management is an interdisciplinary one, so it’s unsurprising that they also passed on insights from the law school:
