Julie, Steve and I have enjoyed marking PRG’s tenth anniversary this month. In some ways it’s hard to believe the consulting firm we envisioned (while brainstorming around a northern Michigan farmhouse table) has grown this much in scale and scope!

Now more than 3200 students from all over the world are enrolled in the Gies iMBA, where they learn from a first-rate faculty, supported by a large and innovative e-Learning Team and a small army of course assistants. For Gies students, recorded video lectures are only the textbook. The real learning happens in vibrant live discussions, running simultaneously on the main screen and in the chatbox; in well-attended virtual office hours; and in group projects worked out through Zoom, at all hours of day and night.
