So it has once again been an eternity since I have written here but there have been a lot of things going on. When people say business school is really what you make of it they're absolutely right. For me there are four major areas that take up the majority of my time: classes, my internship at Muckerlab, my own business (which luckily partially counts for one of my classes) and most recently the Entrepreneurs Association has taken over a large chunk of my life.
The EA is the biggest
organization on campus and is responsible for bringing together entrepreneurial
minded people at Anderson and expose them to UCLA and the LA
community to help them start businesses, get recruited at startups and learn more about entrepreneurship. This club has been an unbelievable
resource to me so far and I urge any and all new studentsto join the club as it tends to have the most and
the biggest events, bring in the best speakers and get the most funding. Now I'm
just preaching of course and the reason for that is that I am now running the
organization.
Being the biggest club on campus, the EA holds elections earlier than anyone else (including the student association) and the power transition starts very soon in the year. That means that for the past two weeks I have been running around trying to learn as much as possible about the diferent facets of the organization that I did not yet know about, putting together a team and networking with board members of the Price center and other entrepreneurship organizations around campus and LA. It's been a lot of work but I'm unbelievably excited about it and while he current EA board has done an amazing job this year, we're really hoping to jumpstart from that. We've been lucky enough to have a lot of potential candidates come through this year and talk to us about the EA so please don't hesitate to reach out at any point as we have so much to share.
