What is this "Publish" Button?
Posted by Guillaume on 08 June 2006
Well, the London MBA Blog has launched. That’s great. Of course, the MBA2007s and MBA2005 (Siranoush, good to hear from you) have already posted something. Time the MBA 2006 representative (that’s me) gets in the dance and hits the “Publish” button.
Obviously, the MBAT victory has been covered. Let me add my own touch before we finally move on – we don’t want to sound like bragging B-school brats, do we?
MBAT is a great event as it is as much a competition on the side of the field that in the field. All students are cheering their team like mad. Believe me: I lost my voice for nearly a full week. What is even better is that it is all done in a good spirit as mentioned by Payton and everybody ends up partying and drinking together (can I say that here?) – of course we needed help with 3600 bottles of beer in our Red Bus!
That being said, we did steal our rival’s mascot (IESE’s Toro), who is now blogging about his year in London. I wanted to share that with you because I find this is a nice example of how creative people can be and how much fun we can have on our little campus.
By the way, that story and MBAT in general are good examples of how most students get involved in campus life. Sure, apart from my 5th place at Pétanque, my contribution for this event ended up being smuggling beer to various part of the HEC campus or ordering 80 pizzas for our MBAT sundowners (“every little helps”), But some of my fellow students really did a great job: in the spotlight (see cheerleader Nash below), behind the scenes (see Ben who is the MBA2006 official photographer since day 1), or just because they are so funny (hey Sam, I promised your picture would be online!). Let’s not forget team captain Julian and the rest of the cheering team – see Natasja’s post.
Enough said. I’ll be back soon with more interesting information for applicants. Meanwhile if you are indeed a prospective student, you can always start reading Richard Montauk’s book and thinking about what to put in your essays in due time (it all starts here).
