With the school year well under way, the business school student newspapers are getting started too, bringing news of campus speakers, student clubs and fun events. Here’s a quick overview of the top stories in several MBA student papers this week:
The Wharton Journal brings news of a busy week on campus as the guest speaker schedule starts to heat up. This week, Ian Davis, Managing Director at McKinsey, kicked off the Wharton Leadership Lecture series with a talk on the five biggest issues facing CEOs today. Meanwhile, the Sales & Trading Club and the Media & Entertainment Club both began their speakers series last week. Mike De Asia, Wharton ’99 grad and a Director and Mortgage Trader at Merrill Lynch, shared his experiences from seven years on Wall Street with the Sales & Trading Club while Andrew Heyward, former president of CBS News and winner of 12 Emmy awards, spoke to the Media & Entertainment Club about the impact of technology on journalism.
Heading north to Harvard, the topics in this week’s edition of the Harbus range widely, from smart phones to the alumni achievement awards. In between is news of victories for the HBS men’s rugby team and the Energy Club. The HBS squad solidly defeated opponent Mt. Washington Valley 64-0 in last week’s game, while the Energy Club returned from the National Energy Finance Challenge in Texas with a strong second place finish in a field of 16 teams from top U.S. business schools.
The Bottom Line at Columbia also had several victories to report this week, as the Sailing Club took first place in an MBA regatta in a field of over 20 other business schools from around the world and the Columbia women’s rugby team came home victorious from “Hogfest,” the annual MBA rugby tournament hosted by Wharton. The issue also features great wrap-ups of recent intramural contests, a preview of this year’s Cluster Cup events (it looks like it’s going to be fun!), and an interview with Doug Lattner, CEO of Deloitte Consulting.
Student papers are a great way of getting to know more about student life and campus clubs, so be sure to check them out as you prepare your application essays!
