Sandra Dawson is the woman

While we don't have many female professors or guest speakers in our MBA program here at JBS - something which we are trying to change this year! - we do have one incredibly fabulous and outstanding kickass rockstar of a role model, Professor Sandra Dawson. Oh wait. I just searched for her on the JBS website and saw that she's Dame Sandra Dawson. Which is even cooler!

You can check out her detailed (read: awe-inspiring) info here.

Dame Dawson (I will still call her Professor in class but I just can't help myself!) basically founded Judge Business School, which was no small feat considering she was up against an almost-800-year-old university, most of whose constituents had zero interest in a business school. But Dame Dawson inspired them and Judge was born. Judge would not be here - and we would not be here, having this incredible year - without her. Which is a pretty amazing perspective to be able to have when you are sitting in her classroom discussing leadership!

Anyway, just wanted to point y'all in the direction of this new interview with Dame Sandra Dawson in the McKinsey Quarterly. Take a moment to check it out!
