Mini MBA Live Preview
2026-05-07 12:00 - 12:30 (America/New_York)
Marketing has become easier to do. What hasn’t become easier is deciding what’s worth doing.

More tools. More data. More output — AI is accelerating it all. Execution is no longer scarce.

And yet— a surprising amount of marketing effort still goes in the wrong direction.Well executed. Well measured.And often, wasted.

Just ask yourself: how much of your marketing budget is actually driving results,and how much is simply keeping things moving?

Because customers don’t see your strategy, your channels, or your campaigns.They experience what you put in front of them— and decide, over time, whether it was worth it.

And in those moments, everything either comes together… or it doesn’t.

Across these two modules—defining and understanding your client, and creating value for customers—you will leave with a clearer basis for decision-making:who you are really serving, what value actually holds, and where to focus.

Because in a world where execution is easy,advantage comes from making the right calls.

Character, Leadership, and the Crummer Advantage: A Conversation with Mark Hertling
2026-06-09 18:00 - 19:45
Leadership is not a title. It is what people trust you to do under pressure.

Join us for an intimate evening with Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Mark Hertling — decorated military leader, author, MSNow national security analyst, and Professor of Practice on Leadership at Crummer.

This is more than a speaker event. It is a live preview of how Crummer approaches leadership development: through character, competence, trust, presence, and the discipline to act when the answer is not obvious.

For prospective students, this evening offers a live look at the kind of leadership thinking developed inside the Crummer MBA experience.

For alumni, it is a chance to return to Crummer for a conversation built for leaders who are still growing, deciding, and responsible for the people they serve.

What to Expect

Networking Happy Hour

Connect with prospective students, alumni, faculty, and staff over beer, wine, and light appetizers.

Leadership Session

Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling will lead a 45-minute session on leadership under pressure — not simply a quality you claim. It is a discipline you practice.

Book Signing & Raffle

After the session, continue the conversation during a book signing for If I Don’t Return: A Father’s Wartime Journal. The evening will also include a raffle for signed copies.
