  • Meet an Alum: Brian Richards

    Last week’s BEAR! (no wait BULL!) market reminded me of a conversation I had a while back with Brian Richards, Managing Editor at The Motley Fool, a financial services company based out of Alexandria, VA (just a hop over the Potomac in DC).

  • Why MAPH?

    Prospective students have to decide by tomorrow whether to come to MAPH.  I’ve always thought it is a useful exercise (whether you’re a current student just finishing up the first draft of your thesis, or an alum from the class of 1997) to think about the reasons why you came to MAPH in the first…

    I caught up with Steve Capone right before he embarked on a marathon grading session.  Steve is in the midst of finishing his coursework in the Philosophy Ph.D. program at the University of Utah (Salt Lake City) and we spent a few minutes commiserating about grading.  But  it turns out that the life of the…

MAPH alumna Megan Austin and her husband Ricky set up the great website features. The mentors and Associate Director updated all the…

  • Meet an Alum: Michelle Ruvolo

    Michelle Ruvolo applied directly to MAPH during her senior year of college and arrived in Hyde Park the following fall.  “I didn’t have any plans,” she recalled when we spoke on the phone last week.  Like many incoming MAPHers, Ruvolo did have a sense that the academic life was where she wanted to be after…

  • MAPH Alums working with Current MAPHers

    In partnership with CAPS, this week MAPH is starting to take applications for its Externship Program.  Thanks to the volunteer efforts of four MAPH alumni, our students will have the opportunity to stop in for one-day to see what the whole “work” thing is about at Aon Corporation, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Cook County Circuit Court,…

  • Meet an Alum: Zeke Reich

    I interviewed Zeke Reich about his MAPH experience and his current position at the Veterans Administration in Washington, DC.  Here’s what he had to say: What were your goals upon entry into MAPH? I came into MAPH with the primary intention of connecting with a constellation of people and ideas that can be found in the…
