He took a one-week, $5,000 course in managing technology and strategic innovation at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. "What I learned keeps me and my group at the Postal Service on the cutting edge of technology and customer innovation," Campbell says.

Skeptical? Well, you may want to remember that before the study of meteorites began in earnest, scientists dismissed the idea...
...year The Crimson, along with every national newspaper, reported on a domino effect of financial aid policy reforms taking place at Ivy League and other "top tier" private universities, including Princeton, Yale, Stanford, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania. Usually, Harvard would sit up and take notice of what their fellow Ivies and neighbors were up to. However, as the student body looked on hopefully with each announcement of yet another school's more generous plans, the Harvard administration quietly but firmly held the line and supported its own current system...
