  2006: Almost a Wrap. New Year, New Name, New Location
  My Experiences

  2006 was my first year as a blogger. I didn’t start until September, but I still managed to get in over a hundred entries, or about 5 posts per week. I’m still getting my flow and formatting down“ I think I tend to be long winded, but I promise to shorten-up in 2007. As I start a new semester (I’m an MBA student) I will be taking: Personal Wealth Management, Venture Capital, Advanced Corporate Finance and Managerial Communication. In addition to discussing my own observations, I hope to comment on the wisdom I acquire in the classroom. I’m also helping a ...

  Thanks Andy!
  IntelliGrad

  Just a "shout out" to Andy the CEO and founder of OurStory.com. As we mentioned before IntelliGrad has decided to share our story and progress with the world so that hopefully we can inspire other young entrepreneurs. Here is what Andy had to say: "Making graduates more intelligent or at least more knowledgeable about the basics of being a self-reliant human is a noble cause...I salute your service!" Best regards, and best wishes for a successful business! Andy founder/ceo OurStory

  Playing the ‘UnderDog’ Role
  Entrepreneurship

  So yesterday I had had the opportunity to talk about IntelliGrad in front of some venture capitalists (’VCs’). These are guys who have lots of money and use it to start companies that they hope to sell, thereby adding more money to their current millions. Now don't get me wrong - some VCs are amazing and truly are heroes, others, well, they're just not that cool. So why did I agree to present? Well, I am in no way interested in selling IntelliGrad. However, I thought the experience of talking about our company and getting some exposure and feedback was a ...

  New Directions - Same Goals
  IntelliGrad

  Hi Everyone, So IntelliGrad is really starting to come together“ but we have made some major directional changes. First, let me say that everyone should check out IntelliGrad on MyStory.com (click here)“ we are posting information about company updates and the story of ’how we came to be’ on this cool website. So what are we doing differently? Well, we have decided stop creating lots of our own content and instead focus on collecting resources that are already available on the web and bringing them to you all in one spot“ aggregation as the buzzword goes. So for example, you can check out ...

  We’re Back!
  IntelliGrad

  Hi everyone! Sorry! The IntelliGrad blog was down for a few days while we uploaded the new website. IntelliGrad.com is now alive and kicking, but we're still ironing out the kinks. We'd appreciate any user feedback about what you see as areas for improvement or change. We're encouraging users to submit their own podcasts on various topics - similar to YouTube. Pick a topic near and dear to you: the GMAT, Studying Abroad - anything where you feel your voice and experience could help other graduates. As of today, IntelliGrad is no longer focusing exclusively on colleges and universities. Our information and offerings ...

  Textbook Costs are OUT OF CONTROL!
  Campus Chatter, Uncategorized

  The Wall Street Journal ran an article on Thursday about recent efforts taken to cut the cost of academic textbooks. According to the article, textbook prices have been rising at twice the rate of inflation in recent years (we think it might even be higher!). Efforts have been made to charge more using ’bundling techniques’ where students are forced to purchase CDs or study guides along with the actual textbook. Also, publishers have increased the frequency of their updates (think 11th edition) to an annual basis, rather than every few years. People are noticing. Last week, a congressional advisory committee held ...

  Now We’re Rolling…
  IntelliGrad

  IntelliGrad's Reasearch Blog has a new look and feel as of today. From this point forward we are going to be much more conscientious about adding new entries, and featuring relevant articles and musings. We will cover evrything relevant to campus life and beyond, especially relating to technology and entrepreneurship. We encourage reader feedback, rather, we crave reader feedback! We look to our readers for feedback about how we are progressing and what topics you are all most interested in. Also, remember that HMG opinions are simply that -- opinions. If you disagree with us then please tell us that! ...
