We were pleased to see the second GBM of the semester have almost as high of a turnout as the first! The focus was on inter-grade relationships within the organization as well as summer opportunities. The GBM began with the latter, with presentations on finding summer internship/work opportunities. The Resume Drop, a service recently launched by a Harvard Junior to connect top students to top employers was mentioned, however the focus was on the MLT program. MLT was founded John Rice, a graduate of Harvard Business School and an ex executive at The Walt Disney Corporation, and is dedicated to building up strong underrepresented minority leaders in business and business related fields. President Jarrid Tingle is an alum, and he encouraged all sophomores to apply. Dinner followed, and while everyone was eating the board announced a new tradition. From now on, we will be starting going over current events during dinner. Freshman Liaison Alex Wiggin’s hosted, covering topics from the Greek Debt Crisis in the Eurozone to NBA player Jeremy Lin’s launch to superstardom. The focus then switched the interpersonal relationships. The upperclassmen spread out across the room, and freshman were encouraged to introduce themselves to as many new people as possible. Freshman were also encouraged to take down names and contact information and reach out to the upperclassmen accordingly. In sum, the second GBM was a smash and we hope to see everyone and more back again at our next event!
