DOUG STAYMAN: The Johnson Cornell Tech MBA was really built from the 
ground up to be the right kind of MBA to develop leadership skills for 
the digital age. Every other major MBA program is not only in a 
business school but it's in a separate business school physical 
building. Cornell Tech's very different. It was built to bring people 
from computer science, from information science, from business, from 
law, from design together and they live together 24/7. 

RACHEL FLYNN: If you want to work on a project about natural language 
processing there's a handful of engineers who you know you can go to. 

IAN FOLAU: I was able to find two computer science masters students 
that were really tied into the idea that we can make a business happen 
and we just decided "hey, let's find the best problem to solve" 

DOUG: At Cornell Tech you find a computer scientist, an operations 
research and an MBA person trying to work across disciplines on 
bringing technology to solve a business problem. One of the powers of 
being in New York is having all these different kinds of companies and 
lots of people from each company who come at different points in the 
curriculum to work with students. 

MIWA TAKAKI: Every other day you're having guest lecturers come in and 
you're having practitioners come into the Studio and help you with 
projects. You have advisers. You have alumni coming in. 

IAN: There's so much mentorship here and all these mentors are here to 
help us understand if this is a good track or if you should start 
thinking about something new. 

DOUG: We're really looking for students who want to be leaders in 
driving change through technology.
