No período de 08 a 15 de outubro de 2009 organizamos uma programação de visitas e aulas para o grupo do full time MBA da Vanderbilt University.

Temos uma história de amizade e cooperação com Vanderbilt há muitos anos e é muito comum esse intercâmbio entre as duas escolas. Do nosso lado, pelo menos uma vez por ano visitamos a escola de negócios da Vanderbilt com as turmas do MBA Executivo.  

Dessa vez, aqui no Brasil, tivemos atividades no Rio e São Paulo, em empresas como a Vale, Petrobrás, Hospital Albert Einstein, Natura, Embraer, entre outras. Em São Paulo o grupo teve aulas conjuntas com nosso International MBA sobre Matriz Energética e Bio-Combustíveis e Agribusiness. 

Os alunos internacionais ficaram muito bem impressionados com as empresas visitadas e aulas! Ficamos muito alegres, mais uma vez o Brasil surpreende pela excelência de suas empresas, pessoas e serviços!
