"Before starting work [our son, Kris] attended the Stanford GSB Summer Institute and had an amazing, truly excellent immersion into business: finance, accounting, marketing, negotiating, leadership, strategic planning and management. For an engineer (or a liberal arts major), this perspective on the business world is invaluable. If any of you have job-seeking kids nearing the end of college, we highly recommend it."
