The Financial Times surveyed alumni from 1998. Our first EMBA class graduated in 2000. Dean Gil Whitaker was featured in the global business edition of the October 29 issue of Time magazine where he was identified as a "World Beater: People to Watch in International Business." Whitaker was chosen for his efforts to diversify the school and pictured with a number of black, Hispanic and women students. The entire article and photos will be posted on the website soon. http://jonesgsm.rice.edu/content/content.cfm?PageID=195 John Campbell, Chief Executive Officer of H-E-B's Central Market, will be the Dean's Lecture Series featured speaker Wednesday, November 28, from 9:45 to 11:15 a.m., Herring Hall. Campbell, who began his career as a store checker at H-E-B 30 years ago, led the way to create the premier fresh-food emporium for people who love food. After years of witnessing customers armed with coolers driving hundreds of miles to the first Austin location, H-E-B has expanded the Central Market concept with an additional store in Austin, one in San Antonio, and another in Houston, which opened May 2001. http://jonesgsm.rice.edu/content/content.cfm?PageID=104&AnnounID=196 The Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship will host a networking event December 4 at the Hyatt Regency downtown.
