Out of sight, out of mind? Not so much. A week after we officially finished our first year of business school, I'm already missing it. I miss my amazing classmates, the fascinating classes, my awesome profs, and just the general sense of camaraderie and community that pervades the daily experience at Anderson.
Now ... am I glad to have a few months off from homework? Yeah, I admit I am. I am also excited about my summer internship, a strategy project for Princess Cruises. This was a tough year for recruiting -- not just at Anderson or at business schools in general, but everywhere in this economy. But as a testament to our Parker Career Management office, quite a few of us have found excellent jobs this summer. In fact, I owe my own internship largely to Parker, since one of the counselors, Jennifer Bevan, is the person who made me aware of this opening. She and Amanda Durrant, another of Parker's spectacular counselors, coached me on my resume, my interview answers, and general job-search strategies for most of this year. I owe them quite a bit!
Despite my exciting internship opportunity (which starts tomorrow!), I will certainly miss Anderson over the summer. I'm just glad that I have one more year left, more time to soak in the education and friendship thaty the school is afffording me.
I look forward to meeting many of you this fall. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about Anderson or about b-school in general.
