Read All About It!

Hello Friends,

This may serve more as a shameless plug for myself and this blog, but I was interviewed by The Heights, the independent student newspaper of BC. Here's a link to the story. I always pick up a copy on Mondays and Thursdays. They do a pretty good job of keeping administration in check and letting the student body know of issues around campus. My favorite section is the Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down section which falls under the Opinions page. If you have time definitely check them out. There are so many clubs and organizations on campus, never limit yourself to just walking the halls of Fulton as a CSOM student.

Until next time friends …

As If There Was Any Doubt

Hello Again,

So I know what you may have been thinking. Yeah yeah yeah ... first day of school and one company decided to show up as a favor to some wealthy alumni or connection. Well guess again. I snapped this photo walking through the Dustbowl of representatives from Ernst & Young. (I got a free Frisbee from them too!)

They weren't the only visitors to campus and CSOM recently either. Google stopped by for the day as well. Alums Jeffrey Wu and Tae Kim have worked for Google since before the IPO at HQ and in several of the firm's global locations. Students got the scoop on web search quality, fraud-fighting and Google's overall global efforts! All in all a pretty exciting week in CSOM, and it's only the second one.

Until next time friends …

Classes have started ... and so have the company visits

Hello Again,

Well classes began today and the campus is electric again. After a long and sometimes painfully quiet summer, the Heights are abuzz with students running from class to class and eager freshman going to the wrong rooms or trying to find their way through the sea of students in the Quad and Dustbowl. I was walking into a class in Fulton and couldn't resist snapping this picture on my BlackBerry.

It's a table representing Deloitte and Touche a major international and accounting firm that is always around campus. They really know the caliber of students in the Carroll School of Management and have had countless students intern and go on to work with them. Just wanted to show that the companies are out early, and you should be too as prospective students. Look for these kinds of opportunities at all the great schools you are considering applying to.

Until next time friends …
