Last Friday was our Graduation Brunch and what might considered the kick-off to a month of festivities leading up to the big day. After organizing so many events over the past year as a member of Graduate Student Council, it was a welcome opportunity to have someone else throw the party and be in charge for a change! I don\u2019t want to give too much away to current first-years and future students (there are a lot of fun surprises that the faculty and staff manage to keep from the students), but it was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to spend some quality time with our professors and classmates outside of classrooms and teamrooms. It was also a lot more emotional than I expected\u2014I saw a lot of sniffing, a few tears, and TONS of running around and herding friends into one more precious photo. I\u2019m looking forward to what seems like the hundreds more events over the next month, but I don\u2019t know how long I\u2019ll be able to hold it together!<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also been involved lately with the 2011 MBA Class Gift. As a Cohort Captain, it\u2019s my job to encourage my fellow cohort B-ers to participate in the gift campaign by making a pledge to support the MBA Class of 2011 Alumni Relations Initiative. Earlier in the semester, the cohort captains all sat down and brainstormed about where we thought our class gift would have the most impact. It was actually a pretty easy decision to recommend to Dean Freeman that it support something related to alumni, as that is an area that both the dean and my classmates feel strongly about. While we don\u2019t yet know exactly how the gift will be spent (since a lot depends on how much money we raise), everyone has generally seemed enthusiastic and supportive. While we\u2019d like to raise a good amount so that we can have a real impact, it\u2019s really about getting everyone to participate at whatever level they feel comfortable. We are working on setting a record of 90% participation\u2014still have a long way to go, but the momentum is picking up and hopefully we\u2019ll make it! <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
