Graduate school prom? Yup, graduate school prom. If you're curious as to what this entails, just imagine if high school prom and adulthood had a baby. Picture fancy dresses, nice suits, good drinks, good food, and better company. Oh yeah, there was a photo booth. I'll just show you a bunch of those pics so you can get the idea of what to expect at #QuestProm2K18.<br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Due to its increasing popularity, the annual student-led Questrom
iTrek to Israel was recently transformed into the Innovation Ecosystems Field
Seminar, a 3-credit elective course with a focus on Israel as an
entrepreneurial ecosystem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dubbed “Start-up
Nation,” Israel provided the perfect setting for ten first-year and second-year
MBA students to learn about start-ups, their various funding sources, and the settings
that allow them to grow and thrive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">With visits to Israeli start-ups, venture capital firms, incubators,
and educational systems in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, we met with new
and established leaders in the Israeli start-up ecosystem, learning about what
sets Israel apart from other countries and leads to its high per capita rate of
entrepreneurs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">We visited companies such as Nano Dimensions (a leader
in 3D printing technology) and GenCell (a leading provider of innovative fuel cell
power backup solutions), incubators such as MassChallenge Jerusalem and Startup
Nation Central, and educational systems such as Tel Aviv University and
Technion Technology Transfer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
addition to the various site visits, we had the opportunity to visit the
City of Jaffa, the Western Wall, the Dead Sea, Masada, and the Yad Vashem
Holocaust Museum, among other sites.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

^We are traveling the world. Frequently. <br />
<br />
I'm sounding the alarm, folks. We need to build the @QuestromGrad Instagram account into a social media juggernaut. I'm talking Kardashian levels of inexplicable popularity. And it starts with YOU. Yes, the person reading this. Actually, in fact, you. I made it exceptionally easy by tossing a picture up top for you to not only ogle, but to also interact with by smashing the "Follow" button on the top right of the picture. If you're interested in the comings and goings of the Questrom Graduate community, this is the Instagram account for you. We may even throw up a cute puppy/kitten picture to pander to our fledgling audience, but that's more of a "break in case of emergency" type of thing.

<br />
Another week has passed and that means it's time for another Questrom Blog Series. Luckily for me, interesting things keep happening every week and the blog is able to stay fresh. This week is no exception and I'm pleased to highlight a good pal of mine, Ken Hall, as he explains how his <a href="http://www.vcic.org/mba-events/" target="_blank">VCIC</a> team was able to come out on top in the Northeast Regional competition.<br />
<br />
<strong>1. For those that don't know, what is the VCIC and what drew you to the competition?</strong>
<br />
<br />
The Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC) is the world’s largest venture capital competition and essentially puts students in the shoes of a venture capital firm. In the MBA division, there are 75 schools competing through 12 regional competitions for a spot in the global finals. The teams receive the decks of 3 actual startup companies that are raising capital (typically Seed or Series A startups) and have roughly 36 hours for due diligence before the morning of the competition. On the day of the competition, teams meet with each entrepreneur for Q&A, decide which firm they’re investing in, prepare a term sheet for the investment, present their investment decision to the judges, and, if selected, negotiate with the entrepreneurs.
What drew me to the competition was just a passion for VC, the amount of learning in such a short time period, and, yes, being competitive. I’ve interned or consulted for a handful of VCs, but I feel like this has been the best learning experience I’ve had in the industry. Leading up to the competition, we were meeting with leaders in the industry and experienced partners in venture. And then, in 48 hours, you’re gaining experience and demonstrating understanding in valuations, term sheets, market research, due diligence, negotiations, presenting to partners, building rapport, and more. It was like drinking from a fire hose. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<strong>2. Congratulations on the win! What are the next steps for team BU going forward?</strong>
<br />
<br />
Right after the competition, we started mentoring the undergrad team at BU, and they wound up winning their regional as well. So BU’s undergraduate team will be competing in the global finals at the end of March, and our MBA team will be 1 of 12 schools competing in the global finals April 7-8 at UNC Kenan-Flagler; we will be competing against 6 other business schools from the United States and 5 other business schools throughout the world (India, Europe South, Europe North, Asia East, and Asia Southeast).
Over the next month, we will be getting feedback from the judges from the regional competition (who are mostly partners of VCs in Connecticut and New York), meeting with a few advisors, and revising our process for the global finals. At the global finals, we will be reviewing 5 startups in the same 36-hour window and competing against the top business schools in the world, so we need to be sure we are at our absolute best. It’s going to be tough, but I think we have a very good shot at winning the whole thing. <br />
<br />
3. <strong> As a full-time student, how did you find the time to make this all happen?</strong>
<br />
<br />
Honestly, I think learning outside the classroom is the most important part of business school. Questrom gives everyone the platform to show their capabilities and learn not only through classes, but also through competitions and projects. I think those are the best opportunities for learning because the school is giving us real-world experience and building our strengths as leaders and teammates. I obviously don’t neglect classes, but I do make these critical events more of a priority when they happen just because of the opportunities for learning in so many different ways. <br />
<br />
<strong>4. You beat out MBA teams from Columbia, Harvard, Wharton, and Cornell - what do you think this does for BU's reputation in competitions like this?</strong>
<br />
<br />
Yeah, being matched up against four Ivy League business schools was pretty intimidating, but we were really confident going into the competition because we worked really, really hard and had a great group of mentors. I think wins like this can only help Questrom’s reputation – our students are just as smart and talented as those at the top 5-10 business schools. Our team came out of the toughest regional in the world, and BU’s team for the UAB Health Administration Competition just came in first in the country. It seems like every week we win something.
<br />
<br />
<strong>5. What advice would you give to students that may be interested in participating in VCIC next year?</strong> <strong> Thanks!</strong>
<br />
<br />
My advice would be to start learning now. There are so many resources available to help people learn about venture capital so easily, from books (“Venture Deals”) to podcasts (“Full Ratchet” and “20 Minute VC”) to blogs (“Feld Thoughts”). You can literally learn about everything important in a VC term sheet from a thought leader in the industry in 45-minutes for $0 on a podcast. The sooner that you learn the basics, the longer you have to internalize them.
But my advice overall would be for everyone to just get involved and try to make the VCIC team. At BU, we have an internal competition to select the team for the regional. If you are not selected, you still learn a lot about startups and venture capital. If you are selected, you obviously are a part of another great experience and get to network with some incredible people in the world of venture. <br />
<br />
<strong>6. Anything else?
</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
I have to mention everyone on our team: Jon Glendinning, Jon Rosen, Ali Cook, Ian Griffith, and Mayank Jaiswal. Everyone really crushed it during the competition and came together. The day before the competition, we were working out of a classroom for like 10 or 11 hours, and it was just wild to see everything come together. If one person didn’t give it 100%, we wouldn’t have beat all of those great schools. But everyone on the team did, and we crushed it.
Also, I have to give a shoutout to our advisors and mentors…Our advisors were Minde Kornfeld and Greg Stoller, and he really leads the organization of this and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t sleep. We also had a ton of help from last year’s team, especially Ben Courtney and John Fusi. And then we had some great help from entrepreneurs who practiced with us and leaders in VC like Don Nelson and John Murphy.
So yeah, thanks to everyone and thanks to you for having me. I’m looking forward to talking with you in April after we win 1st in the global finals!
Thank you!

<br />
Week 2 of the Questrom MBA blog series kicks off with an interview with Lauren Finkelstein, President of the MS-MBA club (now the MSD<i>i </i>club) and the head woman in charge of the <a href="http://questromworld.bu.edu/techconnect/about/" target="_blank">TechConnect conference</a>. My aim is to keep these interviews fun, fresh, and not stuffy. Since Lauren is basically the funniest person in the entire class, her interview did not disappoint. Check it out: <br />
<br />
<b>1. This year's TechConnect was called the "Fringe Version" - can you explain what that means and how you guys came up with this theme?</b>
<br />
<br />
With Boston being one of the nation's tech hotspots (pun intended), conferences on topics like security and cloud computing are aplenty. Our goal for TechConnect was to do something a bit different- we wanted to explore fringe technologies and focus on where tech could be going as opposed to where it currently is. For this reason, we focused on topics like machine learning and virtual reality.
Here’s a fun insider fact for you – when we started planning the conference about ten months ago we knew we wanted to focus on emerging technologies, but the original theme name was Not Yo Mamma’s Tech Conference. However, as we reached out to potential speakers and moderators (including our own professors) we found ourselves explaining our ask with the phrase fringe technologies, a slightly more professional version of Not Yo Mamma’s Tech Conference.
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>2. What were some of the new takeaways from this year's conference?</b>
<br />
<br />
Check out #TechConnect on Twitter and our own handle, @BizTechMBA to see what all the chatter was about during TechConnect.
Even the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands (how random and fun!) got in on the Twitter conversation, NBD.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>3. This year's conference featured speakers from some of the top tech companies in the world. How involved are students in bringing in panelists and speakers?</b>
<br />
<br />
Students are 100% responsible for recruiting talent to participate in TechConnect. We do this through a mix of our personal connections, introductions through our networks, and cold outreach. I have to give a big shout out to Jeff Bohn, VP of the MS-MBA Association who did a bang-up job of bringing in several of the day’s speakers.
<br />
<br />
<b>4. As President of the MS-MBA Club, what was the most challenging part of collaborating with other clubs to put this whole thing together?</b>
<br />
<br />
When companies put on conferences, they have people whose jobs are entirely dedicated to the event. Being a full-time student and holding multiple part-time jobs (not to mention tackling the spring job hunt rush) on top of planning the conference was definitely a challenge in time management. However, after surviving year one’s mod system, I think most of us are pretty comfortable balancing seemingly overwhelming workloads.
We worked closely with the Entrepreneurship Club to put on the conference. The leadership of that club are also MS-MBA students, so we were very much on the same page in terms of the technologies we wanted to address at the conference. Of course both of our clubs have other initiatives going on in addition to TechConnect, so early on we established a regular meeting time to ensure that TechConnect stayed top of mind and that we were all on the same page.
<br />
<br />
<b>5. What advice would you give to students that may be interested in running TechConnect next year? Thanks!</b>
<br />
<br />
It takes a village!<br />

<br />
*Hey readers, my name is Winston Jones. I'm a 2nd year MBA student and I will be starting a weekly blog series of cool events and happenings around the Questrom community. The first one up is a brief interview about the West Coast Trek - one of the cooler events in the MBA program. I interviewed fellow 2nd year MBA student and the President of the West Coast Networking Club, Jason Marmillion, about the event.*
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Can you briefly describe this year’s West Coast Trek?</b>
<br />
<br />
The West Coast Trek is a student-led trek to the San Francisco Bay Area. We visit companies to learn more about their unique cultures and to try to get a sense of what it's like to live and work in the area. It's also an opportunity for trek members to make connections with business people, BU alumni, and local MBA students, as well as build stronger relationships with the other BU students that attend. <br />
<br />
<b>2. What companies did the group visit during the trek?</b>
<br />
<br />
Netflix, Amazon 126 Labs, Pandora, IDEO, DJI, Google, San Francisco 49ers, Founder's Institute, Plug and Play, Autodesk, Zynga, CBS Interactive
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<b>3. What career opportunities were available for students?</b>
<br />
<br />
By interacting with companies, students were able to explore internships and job opportunities more intimately and make direct connections with hiring managers at companies. On the other side, the expansive BU network in the Bay Area also provided helpful contacts for students pursuing employment.<br />
<br />
<b>4. What do future students have to do to get involved and/or go on next year’s trek?</b>

We're currently evaluating leadership candidates. As a student-led trip, this team will have complete control over all aspects of the trek. If you're interested in attending the trek next year, I'd highly recommend getting involved in leadership. It's an extremely rewarding experience and provides opportunities to develop strong connections with hosting companies and alumni.
<br />
<br />
<b>5. Any additional thoughts or insights?</b>
<br />
<br />
Club leadership has been an extremely rewarding experience for me. It's been an opportunity to apply lessons from class to real-world problems, and also to grow as a project manager, negotiator, and motivator of people. Everyone going to business school should have some sort of extra-curricular activity that they're deeply involved in, whether it's a job, club, charity, start-up, etc. My advice to next year's class would be to pick something that they're passionate about, that they'll go the extra mile for and deliver real impact.

“So I’m going to
both.” Shironda, a first-year MBA candidate, is gearing up for a fourth
module (quarter) of jet setting around the world as part of her MBA
experience. With the eventual goal of eradicating food deserts in the</span> <span style="color: black;">US,
she chose the Israel Field Seminar for its focus on entrepreneurial ecosystems
and the Latin America Field Seminar for its focus on supply chain
sustainability and corporate social responsibility (with trips that include
wine tasting and learning about agriculture and aquaculture).</span></span><span style="color: #555555; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span></span></div>

opportunities for outside study, whether it’s across the campus or around the
globe. Cross-registration and dual degree programs at other BU schools
are common, as are the international field seminars in Europe, Asia, Latin
America, and other regions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

the options she has to choose from. "I wanted to study abroad, but
not necessarily in just one place. I'm also interested in
cross-registering at the Law School and the School of Public Health, and not
every business school allows cross-registration. Questrom truly gives me
the opportunity to chart my own path.”</span></span></span></div>

summer with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. She secured
the internship through Questrom's partnership with Management Leadership for
Tomorrow, a premiere MBA professional development and business school prep
program. The Gates Foundation invites
prospective students from a select number of schools and MLT fellows to apply
for its internship program, so attending Questrom was instrumental in helping
her secure the offer.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: calibri;">When asked what advice should would give to prospective students entering
business schools, Shironda replies: “The best advice I ever received was from a
consultant at Strategy& this summer.</span><span style="font-family: calibri;"> </span><span style="font-family: calibri;">He said not
to do the normal, standard stuff.</span><span style="font-family: calibri;"> </span><span style="font-family: calibri;">Find
out what really interests you, what you’re really passionate about, and if you
don’t see an opportunity to do it, create one.</span><span style="font-family: calibri;">
</span><span style="font-family: calibri;">For me that included not just international study and learning outside
of the classroom about entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility,
but also building strong relationships with students at other schools, taking a range of classes
in law and public health, and hopefully working with a faculty member next year on
research in corporate social responsibility and social entrepreneurship. Questrom is both large enough and small enough to really find (or create) what works for you.”</span><br />

But for Chelsea Dilley, MS-MBA ‘17, a summer at PricewaterhouseCoopers as a Senior Associate in their Advisory - Financial Services - Risk & Regulation division proved successful. </span></b><br />
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></b></div>

Chelsea has a legal background representing large financial institutions in international white collar litigation, and found the transition to PwC’s financial services consulting a natural next step. During her time as an intern, Chelsea worked on site with an Atlanta-based client, focusing on an overhaul of their enterprise risk systems. Her role involved a lot of project management work, and she credits Questrom's focus on teaming with her success.</span></b><br />

Without having the same </span></b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">emphasis on teaming in their schools, working on team projects wasn't as easy a transition for them. Chelsea's managers were impressed with how well she could drop into a team and work collaboratively with anyone under tight deadlines and high client expectations.</span></span><br />

<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When asked what she enjoyed most about her internship, Chelsea said it was the diversity of cases and projects, as well as its problem-solving nature. Not having a consulting background wasn't a challenge, as one might assume - in fact, it was actually common for PwC to have interns without backgrounds in consulting. They were looking to draw upon the skills and expertise of people with other industry experience. </span></b><br />
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></b>

The company is evaluating you, but you are also evaluating the type of environment the company has and what it would be like to work there full-time. She suggests meeting new people and talking to them about their roles. That's a huge opportunity that interns often overlook because they're so focused on just doing the job. One of the things she really admired about PwC is that every year they have a Promotion Day where they celebrate everyone who was promoted within the year. During that time, they take the entire day off to celebrate, and for the 2016 Promotion Day they hosted Trevor Noah at Madison Square Garden as well as a performance painter. She really appreciated the way they celebrated employees' accomplishments.</span></b><br />

She has just accepted a full-time offer and will start fall 2017.</span></b></div>

BU immediately stood out, with top-10 nationally ranked Health Sector Management MBA and MPH programs. Going to school in Boston - a global biomedical hub - was also a big factor in my decision, and after I visited BU’s campus, I knew it was a place where I could challenge myself and succeed. </span></div>

<span class="s1"><b>The Questrom iTrek</b> is a student-led trek to Israel over spring break, focused on entrepreneurship and innovation. The group visited Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and a Bedouin encampment in the desert. During the trip, students learned about the history and political situation in the region through visits to the religious sites of Jerusalem, the Holocaust Museum, and the Peres Center for Peace. The trip also included visits to multi-national and Israeli companies to discuss what gives Israel its innovative edge.</span></div>

<span class="s1">On Monday April 4, 2015 the Health Sector Management Club (HSM) hosted a spring networking event for 1st and 2nd year MBA students, as well as MSMS students. The event hosted 14 alumni and guests representing companies throughout the health sector. Highlights included Shire Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi Genzyme, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Boston Medical Center, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals. The students and professionals had a great time getting to know each other, and the event provided the students with an opportunity to learn about different careers in the health sector. </span></div>

<span class="s2">Last week, twenty students in the Public and Non-Profit Club visited the M</span>useum of Science to explore how the museum manages corporate partnerships and builds their brand with exhibits such as the recent (and very successful) Pixar display. They had the opportunity to meet with the Senior Vice President, Advancement, the Executive Director, Advancement and additional members of the team responsible for special events, corporate partnerships, individual giving, and government grants.<br />
<br />
The group learned about fundraising and how corporate partnerships in particular are cultivated to provide different opportunities for scientific exploration at one of the most recognizable organizations in Boston.<br />
<br />
According to participant Travis Kilpatrick, MBA '16, <i style="text-align: center;">"[my main takeaway was] understanding how your supporters want to make a difference in the world is an opportunity to share how your organization helps them accomplish it - and of course [I enjoyed] exploring the museum afterward!"</i><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br />

Google provided insights into the design and thought behind their many amenities and interesting working environments, moving beyond just ‘fun’ into actually productive results. All in all, the group learned quite a bit and now have a deeper understanding of the pros and cons of flexible and unique work spaces.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><b>Name: </b>Lauren Murphy, Part-time Evening MBA, MBA 2016</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Background? </b>I was born in Boston but raised about 50 miles outside in Worcester, MA. I earned my bachelor's degree from Boston University in International Relations. Before coming to Questrom, I worked at a small non-profit in Boston whose mission focused on social entrepreneurship development in the Middle East and North Africa. I personally oversaw outreach and operations for conferences held on the ground in the region, which gave me the ability to travel to Morocco. Currently, I work in operations at the Boston University School of Medicine at the Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Center, which is cutting edge research center that focuses on the effect of repetitive traumatic brain injury on athletes and veterans. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Why did you choose BU? </b>As a part-time student, I was looking for a program that gave part-time students the same opportunity and experiences as the full-time students. I knew getting your MBA was going to be a lot of work - especially while working a full-time job - so I was also looking for a supportive community both within the student body and the administration. I believe that I found all of that at BU. I don't feel that my education is watered down. It is definitely a lot of work,</span><span class="s2"> but there is a strong community to support you as well. Part-time students are all embraced by the community and expected to participate in clubs and social events, which has only enhanced the overall experience.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span class="s1"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>What are you involved in at BU? </b>I'm the VP of PEMBA Relations for the Graduate Student Council and I'm the PEMBA Rep for the LOT Club. I also try to participate as much as possible in events that other clubs are hosting and other events that happen on campus. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b><br /></b></span></div>

<span class="s1"><b>What do you love about Questrom? </b>I love most the people - the students and professors are amazing!</span></div>

BU's Sports and Social Club planned a President's Day Weekend Ski Trip to Attitash Ski Resort in New Hampshire. More than 30 first- and second-year Full-Time MBA, PEMBA, and MS-MS students travelled to New Hampshire for the Weekend.<br />
<br />
The group left from Questrom Friday evening and spent Saturday and Sunday on the sunny mountain. It was one of the coldest winter weekends of the year, with temperatures well below zero and windchills in the -30s! That didn't stop us from hitting the mountain.<br />
<br />
There was a great mix of expert skiers as well as first timers who had a fun time learning how to ski in Ski School. After a full day on Saturday, we had a delicious group dinner at the Red Fox Grill and Bar right in town. The trip received great reviews and everyone is already excited for next year!<br />

<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Background:</span></b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My parents emigrated from Taiwan and finally settled in the city of Bangkok, Thailand, where I was born and raised. I grew up with my parents, three siblings and our dog named Melon. Growing up, I studied at a Thai-Chinese International School where I learned to speak English and developed my interests in science and technology. Afterwards, I studied Mechanical Engineering to pursue my interests in automobiles and design.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Why did you chose BU?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Questrom is one of the first schools in the entire nation to base an entire program on experiential learning. The opportunity to solve real business problems for a range of companies, from startups like The Paint Bar to Fortune 500 companies like AT&T, was what really attracted me. The diverse background of students that I am exposed to at BU made it an even easier de</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">cision to get my Master's degree here.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What are you involved in at BU?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Thanks to nomination by my classmates, I got involved in the Questrom Graduate Council as the MSMS Representative. The council has opened many doors for me to network with people outside of the MSMS Program, such as MBA students and professors. Also, as a member of the Leadership and Organization Transformation (LOT) Club, I had the exceptional opportunity to attend the HRPI Awards last Fall, where I had the chance to network with the best CHROs in the world today and witnessed Tracy Keough, CHRO of HP Inc, receive an award.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What do you love about Questrom?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Easily the people. The Questrom community is filled with motivated and supportive people that continuously push me to get out of my comfort zone. Throughout the MSMS program, I feel that the faculty genuinely cares about our success. They do not simply act as teachers of Finance or Marketing, but as mentors that guide us to become better business people.</span></span></div>

<br />
Last week the second year full-time MBA students experienced a week long Ethics intensive. During this course, they not only learned the fundamentals of ethical decision making, but met with CEO's of local organizations and worked on a Social Change Project that would have a sustainable impact for the community. The biggest take away of the week: You can make a difference in a short period of time if you put you mind to it! </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
Some examples of Social Change Projects: </div>
<div class="p2">
</div>
<ul>
<li><i>"Practice Mindfulness</i>"- teaching students & faculty to be present </li>
<li><i>"From Surviving to Thriving</i>" - support refugees who have been victims of trauma or torture to get the resources they need to restart their lives </li>
<li><i>"Burn Calories, Not Electricity"</i>- campaign to show how making small changes can impact your health and sustainability </li>
</ul>

<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Background:</b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was born and raised in Tucson, AZ where I lived with my parents and two younger sisters. Afterwards, I headed for the rocky mountains where I earned my bachelor's degree in international business from the University of Denver. Most recently, prior to coming to Questrom, I served as an acquisitions manager for a privately held investment company which specializes in venture capital and real estate. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Why did you chose BU? </b>Many business schools have the same feel. Most of their students are looking to get jobs in the consulting or finance field after graduation. Although I was aiming for a job in one of those two industries as well, I did not want to be surrounded solely by other people just like me. Questrom provided me a business school option where I could meet students with different professional interests other than mine. Now I am great friends with people who are going into the health sector community, public and non profit community, tech community, and many more. Networking is more robust at Questrom whether you are interacting with your peers or the faculty. Also, Boston is a great city to live in. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What are you involved in at BU? </b>Both years on the Questrom Graduate Council, the student government organization, and most recently as the elected president of the graduate student body. Last year, Cohort Cup champion as a part of cohort C. I played in the MBA Soccer World Cup with our travel soccer team and am a teammate on about five intramural sports teams each year. I also serve on the student advisory board for the full time MBA program, serve on a non-profit board for BU onboard, and attend club events hosted by Questrom clubs. I also played a minor acting role in a recent BU commercial, which is the start of my undeniable path to fame and fortune in front of the camera. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Why do you love it here? </b>The aforementioned diverse community that Questrom offers has been an amazing opportunity to meet people from all over the world and from a wide spectrum of industries. The support I receive from peers, faculty, and administration give me great confidence graduating from Boston University. Never have I been bored at BU, always have I been challenged, and the friends that I gained over the last year and a half I will have forever. </span></div>
