Happy 2010 Everyone!
The Haas campus is starting to come alive over the next few weeks, and there are many activities to attend before school starts up in full swing. The first year evening students are beginning classes this week, and many of us attended the career services Winter Conference on Sunday. Hans Morris, president of Visa Inc. from 2007-2009, gave a strong presentation on managing and excelling in your career focused on eight distinct points. Ranging from advice on how to perform quality work (always challenge the status quo for continuous improvement) to managing a P&L, Mr. Morris provided a well organized presentation. More information about the speaker series can be found at the link below.
The second years will be attending the MPAR seminar this upcoming weekend, and I, for one, am looking forward to the opportunity to bond with my classmates across all co-horts in a simulation program. I've heard it can get pretty competitive, so watch out everyone!
For those of you that like to plan ahead, the first of the Spring Leadership development series is coming up at the end of the month, and on February 3rd Dean Lyon's will be hosting Steve Ellis, Worldwide Managing Director from Bain for the Dean's Speaker Series.
