LexisNexis, the prominent legal and academic computer software system, is a big employer in Dayton. Gentner pitched them the idea to offer Dayton’s MBA program directly to employees on site.
The company expected about 50 people at an introductory informational session. Instead, 250 showed up.
Twenty-eight employees took up the offer last year, and LexisNexis offered some tuition reimbursement that helped offset costs; students paid about 15 percent of the actual cost of the degree, Gentner said.
There’s more opportunity for this in Columbus. In Dayton, only four companies were large enough for something like the LexisNexis partnership, Gentner said. In Columbus, there are 15.

4/22/16 Abstract. This is a study conducted to examine the relationship between preferential learning style preferences types and classroom performance of MBA students at a southeastern university. The purpose is to understand the preferred teaching/learning methods and how they relate to a student’s overall success. This has been achieved by surveying graduate students in an MBA program. A survey was developed that measured the rating of students versus ten teaching/learning style e.g., case studies, simulations, etc. The mean preferences were calculated. The mean calculation yielded most preferred and least preferred leaning styles. We then correlated the learning styles against class performance to determine the preferences of the higher preforming students versus the lower performing students. This research will provide valuable insight into the learning process and implications of certain teaching methods. The relationships are important to understand for both a MBA professor and a University as a whole.

Professor Aaron Chatterji found CEOs who speak out about controversial issues can draw customers who agree with them.
While it’s true that going to business school with children in tow is no cake walk, many MBA moms are finding more resources and support on campus than ever before. With Mother’s Day coming up, I wanted to share this post on being a student mom recently published on the MBA Voices blog at Harvard Business School.
Elena Rodighiero started at HBS in August 2014 with a three-month-old son, and is graduating this spring with a second child, a baby girl this time, who is just a few months old.
The need to prioritize is paramount for MBA moms, and what I found inspiring about her post was how she took an existing student association at HBS and expanded it to better meet her specific needs and to give back to future mothers pursuing the degree.
She and other moms created a new group within the Women Student Association called moMBAs, and she says the group focuses on building community and improving the HBS experience for student-moms, moms-to-be, and everyone who is interested in parenthood.
“My classmates and I wanted to institutionalize motherhood at HBS.”“If we could collect and curate our combined experiences (including tips and tricks on things like childcare and lactation rooms on campus) we could help future generations of moms at HBS,” Rodighiero writes.
The group also worked with HBS’s Career and Professional Development Office to create a list of coaches able to help students structure a career path that considers their family’s needs as well, Rodighiero explains.
MoMBAs at HBS also has a speaker series planned for Fall 2016, and Rodighiero shares how she has integrated her interest in the topic of motherhood into her studies. Together with classmate Carina Rutgers, she created an independent project on motherhood that “hinged on the consideration that in our professional careers we will all deal with parenthood, as managers or coworkers, even if parenthood is not part of our own personal lives. This is an important message for students at a business school, who will encounter this issue throughout their lives.”
Pursuing an MBA as a mother has its unique challenges and requirements, but it’s definitely feasible. Every woman interested in forging a new career path should know that business school, career advancement and having children are not mutually exclusive. I invite you to read the complete post on the MBA Voices blog to learn more about experiencing Harvard Business School from this unique point of view.
