Reggie Fils-Aimé is set to share his leadership wisdom with students at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. The ex-Nintendo of America president has joined the university's Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management as its first Leader in Residence.
As part of the school's Leadership Program, Reggie will visit the campus once each semester to "meet one-on-one with students, lead small group discussions, and facilitate a larger workshop", giving back to the university from which he graduated in 1983. The first of these events is scheduled in for 21st October.
The lecture is open to the public, so if you just so happen to be in the area and are interested in the topic, make sure to head on over. Attendees will be able to meet and listen to Reggie's lecture and even enjoy light refreshments afterwards. Nice.
We can already imagine what'll happen if students show up late.

It's been just under five months since Reggie stepped down as Nintendo of America president; we can remember it like it was yesterday, but it somehow feels like such a long time ago.

look at those chubby cheeks! He (was) enjoying retirement!
Once a semester, not extremely busy. I hope he has something more to do with his spare time.
Is his body ready for the semester?
I hope his family enjoyed him while they had him!
I brake my offline vacation policy for this important contribution to this post:

I want Mr Reggie as my teacher !
Imagine being at that uni and having a class taught by mad Reggie. Amazing.
It’s hard to believe that man is 58.
I'm a university professor and we have some excellent Professors of Practice (a position similar to what Reggie will be doing at Cornell). The students learn so much from these people (we have the guy who invented Crystal Pepsi, lol) and the folks in these positions love doing it. Reggie is going to have a blast in Ithaca.
@roboshort 'You don't notice the years when you do something that you love'
@Shiryu We understand as that was very necessary. In the name of the community, we thank you
Long live the Regginator
Wow! Nice to see Reggie is still mentoring and being involved in things! Hope he is enjoying his retirement!
(I'd love to attend, but that's quite difficult when you're about 7 hours away...)

Ooh.... 😏
If i have a time, maybe i can start finding Reggie Mii and i can put his face as my playable Mii on Tomodachi Life / Miitopia and give him some Shirtless Macho outfits. 🤣🤣🤣
@Anti-Matter maybe you can draw a reggie. I like your drawings.
@Luigi-number1
Hm....
I might accept your challenge. 😉
Wait for several days until suddenly i posted a six pack dude on Chit Chat thread.
I hope he starts every class with "All right class, are your bodies ready?"
@Giygas_95 And ends every class with “That’s all the time I have. I have to get back to playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf on my Nintendo 3DS”
@ALinkttPresent "I can't wait to drop off the battle bus and see you all next class."
I'm betting the lecture hall will be packed when he speaks. Part of me hopes he introduces himself like this:
"I'm Reggie! I'm about kickin' a$$, takin' names, and formerly oversaw games!"
(I doubt he'd use such an introduction in that type of setting, but I can dream. )
Good luck to Reggie. Hope his body's ready for being a professor!
All Might is teaching?!
So much for retirement. Haha! Oh well, I wish him luck in his new endeavors.
@KayFiOS So if someone eats a strand of his hair, will they become the new president of Nintendo?
@MysteryCupofJoe Maybe, but that means it's gonna be hard for Doug Bowser to pass on the title...
Lol couldn’t stay retired huh? That seems to be the norm now. People live such busy lives that retirement is boring (or financially unsustainable) so folks start a second work life. My mom didn’t last six months before she went back to work.
I’m assuming the tag line of the press release was “Our student body is ready!”
What is a "Leader in Residence"? I have never heard of this term before.
I live near phillie. I'm totally going!
That's funny and coincidental timing, considering I've been doing a training course that was developed at Cornell University this week.
I wish reggie back to alive
