In December, I got an email from a classmate urging me to sign up for a half marathon. Me? Run 13.1 miles? Maybe I could do that? Fast forward four months and I was jumping onto the train with my running shoes, heading to DC to run my very first half marathon with 20 of [...]
Jyot, a second year student from Los Angeles, graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a dual degree in Industrial Engineering and Political Science/Government.

I am in a reflective mood. I am now 7.5 terms (including Global Institute) done with my Fuqua MBA, with 1 to go. In all facets, this has been a great 2 years. Also, for all of you reading, second year is much better than first year. I’ve gained more familiarity with my local surroundings, [...]

After a fairly grueling five months, recruiting season is OVER! At least, for us. It started back in September with info sessions and networking events, and reached a fever pitch the past few weeks with an intense round of interviews, but Zach has now secured a great summer internship with a top consulting firm on [...]
I probably wouldn’t have noticed him otherwise. My first night in San Francisco for the job trek, I reunited with an old friend over dinner to celebrate her 27th birthday. At a little past 10 p.m., we finally gave up the herculean quest to finish the ambitiously sized birthday crepes we had ordered—and asked the [...]
