10. The Favorite Business Professors Of The Class of 2023
Each year, as part of our popular 100 Best & Brightest Business Major feature, we ask students from the top business schools to tell us about the professors who most made a difference in their school careers. Their answers provide first-person insights into actual classrooms that readers are hard pressed to find anywhere else.
“As a young entrepreneur, I was lucky to learn from Professor David Haeberle. He is the son of the ‘Godfather of Entrepreneurship,’ William Haeberle, who created one of the nation’s first collegiate entrepreneurship programs,” Indiana University Kelley student Sankalp Mohan Sharma tells P&Q.
“I truly believe I learned so many little things in his class that go beyond the class material. His tips on wealth creation and idea generation – as well as little things like the best ways to connect with a VC – are extremely invaluable. Many of the concepts taught in class and the little nuggets that he dropped here and there were extremely unique and inspiring.”
These kinds of first-person reviews helped this story become one of our most read of 2023. Read about other great professors here.
