I am about to have my life taken over by LEAD. We had a brief training session this morning and found out our squads. I’m looking forward to working with a group pf people I don’t know well. It’s all about relationships!
We had an interesting session on “Diversity in the Workplace”. There were nearly 200 people there from all of the graduate schools and the undergraduate college, as well as some alumni. We got to listen to panel discussions broken up by affinity groups which facilitated bringing up sensitive issues that we generally wonder about but never quite find an appropriate time to ask about. It was nice to see some of the students in the other schools that I haven’t seen since before Winter Break.
I actually understood my investments class this week. Now if I can just learn the first half of the class, I should be OK for the final. I’m being pulled in several directions by three different groups all tasked with a large term paper due finals week. It is sometimes confusing to remember which class I’ve read a case for. Feel sorrier for me!
I’m trying to get stuff started for AAMBAA and prepare for a weekend with the company I’m interning with this summer. It will be a good chance to meet the other summer interns, while getting to know some of the partners and. more importantly, make sure they know me.
