49 Ways to get involved at Haas!

Do you know that there are

18 Clubs by Industry (Finance Club, Consulting Club...)
5 Social Clubs (Wine Club, Culinary Club...)
8 Student Run Conferences
9 Competitions & Associations
9 Student Affinity Clubs

at Haas?

Now that finals are wrapping up, it's a good time to think about what you'll be doing next semester. Participating in events outside of the classroom can be one of the most rewarding experiences at Haas, and we're encouraging EWMBA students to learn more about your options. Many of the clubs will be transitioning to new leadership in the winter and the EWMBAA will be looking for volunteers for various committees, so now is a great time to think about getting involved.

Interested in Practicing your Public Speaking Skills?

The communications committee is always thinking about ways to communicate with you... but here's one that many of you can communicate with future students. The admissions office is looking for students to speak at various information sessions over the next two months. This is a great way to meet prospective students as well as get to know the back stories for some of your fellow classmates. I attended the HP event when I was thinking about applying to Haas, and I remember being incredibly inspired by the various speakers. It's our time to shine!

Several dates are available in Berkeley, and for those of you who would prefer to experience a change of scenery, there are two other opportunities.

Please contact Molly Kihanya to volunteer for any of these events:

Haas Clubbing

The communications committee is reaching out to clubs! We are looking to use the Communications Blog to bring information to the student body in more depth than what we cover in the EZine.

This week I'm highlighting the Women in Leadership Club. They have quite a few events through out the year, which you can check out at their website:

http://groups.haas.berkeley.edu/wil

In October WIL is hosting The Berkeley MBA's Women's Workshop with the admissions team on October 31st at Haas. WIL is looking for women to volunteer at the event. I know there are many talented EWMBA student's who would be wonderful representatives of our program. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Monica Khan or Valeria Guirola, WIL VPs of Diversity.

More information about the conference, which is targeted towards prospective students, is available here
