#1012 - Dean Emeritus, Sloan School of Business

The school had its own hotel, and the school leaders personally escorted Su Cheng and his group to check in.

Although the hotel wasn't luxurious, it had all the necessary facilities, and Su Cheng didn't have high demands.

Moreover, he wouldn't be staying at MIT for too long; he would be leaving tomorrow.

In a conference room at MIT, a dozen people, including school leaders and trustees, sat in their chairs, their attention focused on Su Cheng, the world's richest man.

"Mr. Su, please allow me to once again, on behalf of MIT, extend our warmest welcome and sincere gratitude for your visit.

We are deeply honored and sincerely invite you to deliver a unique lecture-style open class to our students, believing that your sharing will greatly inspire and enlighten our students.

In addition, we have a special proposal: to sincerely invite you to serve as the honorary dean of the MIT Sloan School of Management.

This position does not require you to undertake specific daily work, but only to serve as an honorary symbol of our school. Your name will be closely linked to the brilliant future of the Sloan School of Management."

President Paul Gray expressed their expectations with great respect.

Su Cheng had already prepared for the lecture-style open class, so he was not surprised, but rather looked forward to interacting with the students.

However, when he heard the news of being invited to serve as the honorary dean of the MIT Sloan School of Management, he was indeed shocked and honored.

In his memory, the Sloan School of Management in later generations was indeed a world-leading business school, on par with Harvard Business School, enjoying a very high reputation globally.

As for the Sloan School of Management of this era, although he didn't know much about it, he could feel its hidden strength and potential.

This invitation was undoubtedly a high recognition of his personal achievements and influence.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Su Cheng expressed his gratitude and promised to seriously consider this honor, while also looking forward to more in-depth cooperation and exchanges with MIT and the Sloan School of Management in the future.

"President, and all the respected school leaders, please allow me some time to consider this matter. I am very happy to participate in the lecture-style open class, but regarding the position of honorary dean, I need to consider it carefully before making a decision,"

Su Cheng replied sincerely and with a hint of apology.

"Of course, Mr. Su, we fully understand and respect your decision. No matter the outcome, it will not change our respect and gratitude for you,"

President Paul Gray said with a smile, his tone full of warmth and encouragement.

Su Cheng nodded slightly, and began to weigh this proposal in his heart. He discreetly used the smart assistant Xiao Ai to quickly collect and analyze information about the Sloan School of Management of this era.

According to the information provided by Xiao Ai, the MIT Sloan School of Management, since its establishment in 1952, although its history is still short, less than thirty years, its development momentum has been rapid, especially in the field of business management education, it has initially taken shape.

The school has gradually expanded from initially focusing on cultivating engineering management talents to a wider range of business fields, and has now become one of the most watched colleges within MIT.

The school has high hopes for it, expecting it to become a leader in the business world in the future.

And this invitation to Su Cheng to serve as the honorary dean is obviously because the school values his outstanding achievements and wide influence in the business world, hoping to further enhance the Sloan School of Management's global reputation and influence through his joining.

Su Cheng realized that this position was not only an honor, but also a responsibility. Should he agree or not?

Su Cheng frowned, thinking.

He understood the extraordinary strength and wide influence of the MIT Sloan School of Management in the future, and such an opportunity was of immeasurable value to him personally.

Serving as the honorary dean could not only deepen his connection with this top business school, but also bring new perspectives and resources to his future business layout and strategic planning.

Therefore, Su Cheng regarded this as a win-win proposal, where both parties could benefit from it, rather than a one-sided transfer of benefits.

After careful consideration, he was convinced that this decision would not have a negative impact on him, but rather a new identity that would add honor and responsibility.

So, he made a decision and said to President Paul Gray: "President, after careful consideration, I have decided to accept your invitation to serve as the honorary dean of the MIT Sloan School of Management. I look forward to growing together with the school and contributing to the cultivation of more outstanding business leaders."

As Su Cheng's words fell, a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere suddenly filled the room.

Many people showed joy on their faces, obviously feeling gratified and expectant about Su Cheng's decision.

This may also be the reason why MIT invited him to take this position.

With the announcement of this decision, thunderous applause broke out instantly, and the faces of the dozen or so school leaders and trustees were filled with excitement and proud smiles.

For them, the close cooperation with Su Cheng, the world's richest man, was undoubtedly a huge boost to the brand value of the MIT Sloan School of Management, bringing more international attention and cooperation opportunities to the school.

In the subsequent exchanges, everyone naturally turned to topics such as graduate employment.

This was also a very attractive topic for Su Cheng.

His business empire spanned the globe and was in a stage of rapid expansion, with a desperate need for top talent.

And MIT, as a cradle for cultivating elites, its graduates were undoubtedly one of the most ideal sources of talent for Su Cheng's companies.

In particular, Su Cheng had many high-tech companies, and MIT has always had very strong advantages in this area.

Therefore, it was very necessary to strengthen cooperation with MIT.

After Su Cheng agreed, the exchanges between the two sides became more harmonious, and the two sides conducted in-depth and effective discussions on how to strengthen school-enterprise cooperation and promote graduate employment.

In addition, Su Cheng also expressed that he was willing to provide internships, employment, and even entrepreneurial support and opportunities for outstanding graduates of MIT, and jointly promote a win-win situation for talent cultivation and enterprise development.

At the same time, he also looked forward to carrying out more extensive cooperation with the school in the fields of scientific research and teaching, and jointly exploring new models and new paths for business education. (End of this chapter)
