Native clothes, energetic music, bindis, African dancers, henna tattoos, food from around the world and 2 kegs of beer...Global Diversity Day was a perfect backdrop to get to know our classmates, where they come from, and what makes MSB such an exciting place to get our MBA. Continued Here... |

I am writing this article from beyond graduation, MSB. Although I left you in May of 2005, I have come back with a warning: read the Library News and, for that matter, every other piece of mail that hits your inbox. I still have my G-town e-mail address and so therefore still get these overlooked gems everyday. Being that I am currently getting paid $130K in base salary to do about 1/3 of the work I did in school, I now have time to read my e-mails and I cannot believe what I was missing for the last two years. Some recent examples should whet your appetite: Continued Here... |

The McDonough School of Business is distinguished by its first-class academics and a diverse, international student body. Because the MBA program is relatively young, MSB students continually set out to further the program both academically and socially. Organizations and clubs are one sizable component of student involvement. This year, students formed two new organizations that formally recognize previously unrepresented groups. Continued Here... |

Unilever - Sri Lanka
At Unilever Sri Lanka, I worked on how to increase sales of the toothpaste category throughout the island. Over my 10 week internship, I met the kindest and friendliest people who proudly displayed their famous "Sri Lankan smile". Unlike in some cultures, a Sri Lankan's natural reflex is to smile and it is one of the most important attributes in a person's attractiveness Continued Here... |

Guess the MBA Student
Here is an autobiographical statement by a fellow MBA student. Do you know who it is?
I play the piano and the flute. I was in a funk band and an a cappella group. My left thumb is shorter than my right and my back has a slight curve. I have been a photographer, a cheerleader, a glass-blower and a welder. The pets I have had include: cats, dogs, doves, pigs, goats, peacocks, geese, rabbits and chickens. Continued Here... |

Hello, first year Georgetown MBA student, and welcome to business school. Look, just to let you know: if I haven't done so already, I plan on making your life a living hell. I bet you thought that business school would be all about networking and furthering your career and going back to school to have fun. Well, my friend, I've got five words for you: "draw the shifting demand curve." Continued Here... |

Robert E. Rubin, a distinguished scholar and businessman best known for his role as Secretary of the Treasury under former President Clinton, spoke on September 15, 2005 about the long-term outlook for the American economy. In his address, he warned of grave threats to the relative position of the U.S. economy. In the context of major economic shifts abroad, namely the emergence of China and India, the U.S. economy is at a "critical juncture", he said, policy decisions will affect its direction.

It is so nice to see all the eager first-years stressing out about accounting exams and economics midterms - and know that I already did that! No one makes it through all those required courses without hiccups, but what matters is to ride them out, focus on what you like, and get a good job! It is unlikely that any internship is going to ask you to generate balance sheets, income statements, or solve lengthy problems having to do with Cournot or Bertrand competition (oh, you haven't studied that yet? Just wait!), so don't sweat the small stuff. Continued Here... |

"I just wish people would realize that anything is possible if they try, that dreams are made if people try."
So said Terry Fox before his premature death just shy of turning 23. This soft-spoken young Canadian cancer victim captured the hearts of all, who were deeply moved by his Quixote-like quest to cross the continent, though hobbled with an artificial leg. Terry ran-hop-skip gait-daily a marathon-equivalent distance for 146 days, consummating 3,100 miles (5,000 km), before cancer ravaged his body and abruptly terminated his vision. Continued Here... |

It was about 11:30 pm on Thursday night in the dimly lit, smoke-filled Black Olive Bar at the FedEx Integrative. A conglomeration of Georgetown business school students, holdover Redskins personnel, and military men dominated the bar. My eyes were bloodshot and heavy from four days of lectures, presentations, and meetings. In the distance, two students were Karaoke-singing "Jingle Bells" (yes, in August). And as one of the Army battalions descended upon a female classmate to offer her a drink, my friend Seth Fonti put it perfectly, "This is the most surreal experience of my life." Continued Here... |

I must hand it to our current social events chairwomen...spring formal was a total blast! Of course, combining good friends, an open bar, food, and fantastic clothes often proves to be a recipe for success.
The setting, America Restaurant at Union Station, was very simple but served as a lovely backdrop for the stylings of the Georgetown University MBA population. In addition to students, attendees included significant others, spouses, administrators, and professors; it was satisfying to see such a vast representation of the overall MSB community and its periphery. Some notable guests included Monica Gray from the admissions office, the bulk of the Career Management staff, and the esteemed professors Stanley Nollen and Teri Yohn. Continued Here... |

They came to represent their cohorts in a battle royale of epic proportions. Competition like this has not been seen since the bygone days of the Coliseum: the bloodlust, the adrenaline, the passion for victory. But this was not chariot races, not hand-to-hand combat nor Christians vs. lions... this was dodgeball. Four teams of MBA candidates met in Yates for the sole purpose of throwing balls at one another in an organized fashion. Cohort four - "The Fantastic Four" - proved to be the team that could throw the balls the best Continued Here... |
