Congratulations, Rafael!

I am thrilled to announce that Rafael Corrales, Co-Founder of College Knowledge, has been accepted to the Harvard Business School for the MBA class of 2010! Congratulations!

Needless to say, this is terrific news for College Knowledge. A company that has already enjoyed phenomenal success & shown tremendous promise can only benefit from such an opportunity for one of its founders. As a student at HBS, Rafael will no doubt learn many new and exciting ways to make College Knowledge even better than it already is!

This step in Rafael's career relates to so many of the things that we try to emphasize here on CK's blog. First and foremost, I think it shows that we are 110% committed to education and lifelong learning. Rafael & Orion clearly know a little something about business, so one could easily wonder whether or not he needs Harvard Business School to be successful. But that's just the point. Being successful is not just about having the skills; broadening one's horizons and expanding one's network are often of equal importance. And that's what Rafael will gain from Harvard. Well, that and his business card's gonna look a heck of a lot snazzier!

Congratulations, again, and well done! You've shown us all that having a few things in the pipeline (or up your sleeve) can seriously pay off!
