"SIP-"ing refreshments over Spring Break!

The first half of the spring semester has flown by, and I can't believe SIP, or Sloan Innovation Period, is already upon us. Last week, I somehow managed to hand in 3 papers and have a Finance I midterm and now I am back to blogging and looking forward to the next two weeks of project work and relaxation!

I have worked hard with three other classmates to co-organize a SIP study tour to Antigua over 10 days during SIP and Spring break. The objectives were to learn about the country, do some on the ground project work, and also take in the culture and have fun! A group of roughly 15 students will fly down to Antigua from 3/18-27 to visit companies, Antiguan officials, and provide two local businesses with project work, one in hot sauce manufacturing and the other in hospitality.

I will surely have pictures when we return, and I will hopefully have a log of the events to capture the idea of our trip!

Sustainability c-function

Here we are trying out the Boston pedi-cabs that were on display at the c-function. Every little bit helps to make the city greener!

China C-function!

Here is a pic from last night's c-function of the dragon dance after we feasted on re free Chinese food!

Semester 2: A new start

So here I am in the E52 computer lounge, a place I grew to know and love during CORE last semester. It brings back memories of furiously typing away papers, or running optimization models in Excel, but this time something is different....

I'm taking electives now, classes of my choice! I'm loving the classes that I've chosen (Strategy, New Ventures, etc) and I realize this semester will be less stressful, but equally developmental. Tonight is the first C-function of 2009 (for China) and I really can't wait to attend. I will attempt to post live pictures from the event using my iPhone to share how fun these cultural events are!
