Uganda bound!
The projects have been announced, and the teams have taken shape. We submitted our top MAP choices about two weeks ago and the MAP office has been hard at work, matching us to our project assignments. No one knows exactly how the process plays out, but in the end each MBA1 was assigned to a project ranked within their top ten, which is pretty impressive.
I am so excited about my assignment! It involves working with a rural hospital in Uganda to analyze areas for procurement and inventory management improvements. The project interested me because I am really enjoying our operations class this term, wanted to work with a non-profit for MAP, and hoped to gain some international experience. The project kickoff is still off in the distance (although not that far, since there’s only three more weeks left in the Winter A term) but our team of four students will be meeting for the first time tomorrow. We are all from different sections, which is great—as much as I love working with my section, it will be a nice change of pace to work with a completely new group.
Lastly, congratulations are in order to the newly admitted students for the Class of 2011. Hope to see you at Go Blue Rendezvous!
