To the two-year Class of 2002 and the TMO Class of 2001, welcome to Sage Hall. It is difficult not to notice that we are located right in the heart of the campus. If you visited for an interview, you may have stayed across the street to our east, at the Statler Hotel, which is run by students in one of the world’s most renowned schools of hotel management. Across another street, to the south, construction crews are busily preparing the foundation for College of Engineering’s Duffield Hall, soon to be one the most sophisticated nanotechnology research and teaching facilities in the country. Top-notch programs in law, computer science, industrial and labor relations, agriculture, and veterinary medicine are all housed within a short walk from Sage. In every direction, you can find academic and professional programs that are among the elite in their respective disciplines, much as the Johnson School has is recognized as one of the nation’s premier business schools.
Despite our location in the middle of an Ivy League campus, it can be surprisingly easy to forget that the Johnson School is not a stand-alone institution. In addition to a challenging academic schedule, a wealth of educational, professional and social opportunities are available to MBA students every day in Sage Hall. As we fill our schedules to capacity with group meetings, corporate presentations, club events, and happy hours, we often leave little time to explore beyond the walls of our spectacular facility. The rest of the university can quickly become a collection of buildings that we pass by each morning and evening.
Sage Hall would not be the same place if it were located on a city street, in an office park, or surrounded by woods and meadows. Our location in the center of the Cornell campus symbolizes much more than just physical proximity to the various other units that comprise the university. The study of management has a central position among the graduate and professional disciplines. Our curriculum encompasses many topics that are also addressed from different perspectives elsewhere on campus. Our talents often blend the verbal, quantitative, and creative skills that characterize students in various other programs. Amongst our own ranks, we have doctors, lawyers, concert pianists, as well as students currently pursuing these and other professions through joint-degree programs.
