December recap
December has been busy! The beginning of the month feels like a long time ago. We were just returning back from the Thanksgiving break, rejuvenated by a few days off, and moving into the homestretch for finals. Some December highlights:
• New building reception: The new business school building is almost ready! Students and guests were invited to a pre-opening reception for a sneak preview. It looks fantastic and I’m so excited to have my classes there next term. Not only is everything state-of-the-art, it’s specifically designed to support action-based learning with several community areas and a number of meeting rooms. It’s hard to believe how large and spacious the building is—I joked with my friends that we would need a bullhorn in order to find each other in the lobby!
• Secret Santa/Hanukkah Harry/Kwanza Kris (etc) party: Our section social chairs did a great job bringing in the holiday cheer by organizing a Secret Santa party. We were randomly assigned section-mates to buy presents for with a maximum of $20, so creativity was encouraged! The break from studying was definitely welcome as well!
• End of Fall B: Initially, I thought I had lucked out when none of my classes had final exams, but I definitely reconsidered after completing all of my final projects. Fall B drew to a close for me at 4am on Saturday when I finished my marketing project—with plenty of time to go before the 8am deadline. :) It’s hard to believe that means we are already 25% done with the MBA program. Even though I am enjoying some rest and relaxation during the holidays, I’m already looking forward to my classes for Winter A: Operations and Managerial Accounting (core courses) and Negotiations and Advertising Evaluation (elective courses).
• MAP: Speaking of Winter A, what about Winter B? The Multidisciplinary Action Projects list was just published a few hours ago. I haven’t ranked my top 10 projects yet, but there’s definitely a wide variety of projects and I’m excited to look through them in more detail.
Happy holidays!
