First-year MBA candidates are already into their third week of orientation and participating in a student networking event with alumni and staff to develop confidence in presenting a “personal pitch” to establish professional relationships as well as identify areas for improvement prior to the start of the recruiting season.

MBA Networking Event

The mock networking session is part of the Communication@Olin collaboration that includes the Weston Career Center, Management Communication Center, Graduate Program Office and the Critical Thinking and Impactful Communication course (MGT5314), taught by Dr. Jackson Nickerson and Cathy Dunkin. Several networking activities and professional development (ProDev) sessions are built into MBA orientation and first semester.
