Author's Note

While this blog is not a work of fiction, the characters discussed within it (self included) are not actual people. These characters are comprised of a cross section of attributes, opinions, and adventures representing a range of Wharton School of Business experiences and viewpoints. To the extent that real persons are depicted in any detail in the blog, their names have been altered. Excepted from this is a small group of individuals whose highly visible administrative posts or academic reputations have made them public persons. (Stolen shamelessly and almost verbatim from the Author's Note prefacing Year One: An Intimate Look Inside Harvard Business School, Source of the Most Coveted Advanced Degree in the World by Robert Reid.)
