Getting Oriented

Classes kick off this week at Management Hall, but for MBAs, MSFs, MAccs, MMarks, and EMBAs, the real work begins during the orientation period, which began a month ago for certain programs. Through math camps, networking sessions with classmates and recruiters, career management and interview training, students are acclimating themselves to the furious pace of Mod 1. Megan Nichols of the Career Management Center spoke with students from the MBA and career launcher programs to get their thoughts on the orientation experience. She also captured footage from training sessions conducted by author and corporate consultant Lindsey Pollak, who discussed the value of LinkedIn in the open. In the final segment of this week’s episode, we hear from author and coach Jaymin Patel, in a session he held with students and in a separate interview with Megan.
