It's been awhile since my last post.  Lots to talk about. 

 * The Class of 2011 is off on summer internships.  I started a couple of weeks ago with Harrah's, the gaming company in Las Vegas.  It is a tremendous opportunity to see the gaming industry from the inside, and to get some experience with the entertainment firm that is best known for marketing and customer loyalty.  There are three Andersonians in three different divisions there this summer which also helps because we'll be able to share experiences and insights.  

* Most Andersonians have internships in Los Angeles, but quite a few people have scattered to the winds, including Europe and Asia.  It feels as though the big investment banks and consulting firms have started to hire MBA talent again.  Other classic MBA hirers have also increased ranks - the market feels more positive. 

* A lot of Andersonians are starting businesses this summer, or working on business plans.  I'm really excited about these opportunities for them.  They are really engrossed in their businesses - which is what it takes to make a small business successful.  I'd love to start a business as well but I don't have that one idea that I would dedicate myself to.  Don't make the same mistake I did this year - you can go to the Fast Pitch 101 seminars held by the Entrepreneur's Association even if you aren't presenting yourself, you can just go and listen.  I didn't realize that and regret not taking advantage of those seminars.  Suffice it to say I intend to rectify that this upcoming year. 

More updates soon!
