A river runs through ... um ... MIT
Patches of murky ice have given way to inklings of activity on the Charles. A scull here, a sailboat there, tourist-filled duckboats afloat, seagulls doing their best Greg Louganis into the rippling early spring waters. Hopeful signs of spring. Change in the air ... and as ever on campus.
Spring has sprung, and so has a lot on which we have been working here at MIT Sloan.
- We launched a redesigned MIT Sloan home page last week. Should be a lot faster, more content rich, a better representation of the breadth of activities here. The previous home page was launched in 2004, so this is very much a breath of fresh air, both in its look and feel and its use of technology. The redesigned home page is the first in a number of changes we plan to make to the website over the next year. Our goal: a website that is clear, compelling, informative, fast, optimized for any device, worthy of this great institution. Love to hear feedback (srolph -at- mit.edu). And look for more change on the horizon.

- We populated the MBA website with a bunch of new content. Props to my colleagues Michelle Choate and Tina McCarthy and our friends in the MBA Admissions Office (Julie, Rod, et al.). We hope the site is better organized, provides greater depth, and is more fun than its predecessor. Hey, nobody said innovation had to be boring.
- We brought on board a new digital media specialist to take our podcast and video efforts to the next level. A big hearty welcome to Anthony Placet, who in a few short months has shown the value of having a professional multimedia editor. He has greatly enhanced our audio podcasts and is ready to begin producing videos. Look for an MIT Sloan Video Short -- Coming soon to a computer near you.
- On the podcast front, we've launched some interviews with fascinating folks of late. Student Samantha Joseph jumps out of planes and has jumped ably into business school despite her non-traditional background. Sheila Chandrasekhara is an author, b-school student, and arguably MIT Sloan's top chef. Professor Arnie Barnett makes numbers palatable and applicable to problems of the day. Check out interviews with these folks and more in iTunes or our new collection on MIT TechTV.
