Which courses do you teach? Every year I teach several courses in the field of entrepreneurship, such as Corporate Entrepreneurship, Social Innovation in Finance, and Social Entrepreneurship. What is your teaching style? Classes are very varied. They tend to be less of a lecture—I don’t feel that I "instruct" my students, because I feel that it is more of a dialogue. This is wonderful for me as a professor too because I learn from them. How would you describe the teacher– student relationship at Hult? I have a nice, informal relationship with my students. Often they will come by my desk to ask for advice or send me an email to share the projects that they are pursuing. I feel like I manage to interact with them and share my knowledge with them beyond the structure of a class. What advice would you give to a prospective student?
