Sharpen the Saw
The 21st annual Sharpen the Saw through RIT Executive Business Programs invites executive MBA alumni and students to reconnect and refresh the four dimensions of nature (physical, spiritual, mental, and social).
The two days feature an 18-hole golf outing at the beautiful Webster Golf Club focused on fostering connections and recharging in nature, followed by a day on the RIT campus, gaining expert insights from peers and renowned industry leaders, including keynotes from co-founder of True North Executive Solutions and EMBA alumna, Christina Gullo'06, and Peter S. Goodman, global economic correspondent for The New York Times.
