As you might be able to tell from several of the more recent blog posts, it is a VERY busy time at Anderson. While it might seem that students would be out enjoying the great weather, or distracted by upcoming internships, it could not be farther from the truth. We are all enrolled in 2 core courses this quarter, and at least 2 (some are taking 3!) elective classes. In addition, I am involved in an academic internship and case competition this quarter. What I find is most exciting though, is the transition to our leadership roles for 2nd year. This is the time of year that our wonderful second year MBAs are relinquishing their club board positions and handing them off to us first years. I have the great fortune to be serving as a co-VP of External for the Strategic Operations Management Association. I am really excited about the opportunity to help SOMA grow and continue its great relations with a number of companies that recruit at UCLA Anderson. For those of you that are interested in strategy, internal consulting, operations or supply chain careers, this is the club for you! There are many leadership roles for first year students in all of clubs, and the opportunities just grow the longer you are here!
