Tyra Banks will visit Stanford next May to co-teach a business school class on personal branding. The supermodel-turned-America's Next Top Model host will join Stanford lecturer Allison D. Kluger to guide 25 MBA students as they develop social media personas and, in a flashback to Tyra's ANTM days, undergo "image transformations," according to the course's syllabus.

Hopefully, these makeovers don't involve any Rosemary's Baby haircuts, a la Banks' notorious model makeovers on ANTM.
The class also ends with an unconventional final project, where students will use Facebook Live, local television or YouTube to "[share] their honed personal brand to the public." The syllabus suggests that portions of the class will be streamed on Facebook Live, so Tyra fans may be able to audit the class from home.
Let's hope Banks' lecture topics also include smizing, making "hoe" fashion and the art of tearing down a career in one legendary rant.
