Jeffrey A. Sonnenfeld Reviews
-
Dear Dr. Sonnenfeld, Carol Maoz was wildly excited to propose you as a Conference speaker - especially since the event last week was my final conference as Director of CAIS. Carol wanted it to be memorable. Your presentation certainly qualifies as memorable. It was a combination of the very best graduate school classes I can remember (at U PENN - sorry) combined with my best memories of NYC comedy clubs. Now that is quite a feat! Many thanks for devoting time to us and for provoking us to think of the impact we- as people - have on the brand, the reputation of our schools. You were the only person in the room concerned about running overtime. None of us wanted the presentation to end. I hope our paths cross again.
