While the incoming full-time MBA class of 2015 is in the midst of Gateway Olin (GO!) orientation, the class of 2014 full-time MBA students are wrapping up summer internships.

Most of us will spend the month of August waiting for full-time employment offers while we update our resumes with all the rich new content from the past few months.

Career fairs and online job postings will start appearing faster than we know it so the relatively open month of August will be greatly appreciated.

Pictured above from left to right are most of Olin’s Sigma-Aldrich Summer MBA Interns:

Washington University’s Olin Business School held its Century Club Breakfast on Friday, April 19, featuring Rakesh Sachdev, President and CEO of Sigma-Aldrich. Mr. Sachdev, an Olin Business School National Council member, shared with the Olin community details of Sigma-Aldrich’s roots as well as well gave a glimpse of Sigma-Aldrich’s secret to success. He started with a riddle … what does Sigma-Aldrich have in common with a fruit and a mermaid? Many came to hear Mr. Sachdev’s remarks, including Chancellor Bill Danforth and Enterprise Holdings Chairman and CEO Andy Taylor. The answer to the riddle? The top three NASDAQ performing companies since 2000 are Apple, Sigma-Aldrich and Starbucks.
