Well, the summer is almost over as I prepare to move back to Boston tomorrow. My summer internship with Anheuser-Busch ended and I am so grateful for the opportunity to work for them over the past months. Our group worked on a consumer marketing campaign called “Here’s to Beer” and I was involved in numerous projects from developing widgets, to website creative and filming two segments of an education tutorial called “The Beer Connoisseur” starring the Food Network’s Dave Lieberman. One of the best parts was just being able to chat with Budweiser brand managers, new product developers and so many extremely innovative people.
I am very excited about heading back to Sloan, especially because I am going to be a pilot during the Class of 2009 orientation. Pilots are 2nd years that help facilitate the orientation week for the new students. Each pilot has one or two core teams (groups of 6-7 people) that he or she guides through orientation and then serves as a mentor to these teams for the remainder of the year. So, I’m looking forward to meeting the incoming first years and then also getting to see all of my friends and hear about their summer adventures.
This year I’m living off-campus in Central Square with two others Sloanies, Kristen and Bethany. We’re renting an adorable apartment in a really fun and vibrant neighborhood. Last year I lived on-campus in Tang which was great, but Central is right off of the Red Line of the subway which takes me one stop over to Sloan. Well, time to start packing….
