On Wednesday 16th November our always-on-to-it VP Events Mr. Graeme Millen organized a social evening with the MBA class at SFU. We met at Coppertank, our usual Wednesday / Thursday night haunt, and proceeded to do what MBA’s do. Network!
It was a really great experience to hear first hand what another MBA program is like and just generally drawing comparisons and differences between the cohorts and schools. The typical SFU MBA student is younger than the typical UBC MBA student and has a bizarre and completely unfounded belief that they will beat us at the MBA Games. Despite this little absurdity it was awesome to meet a few more people in Vancouver outside of UBC and create a few more of those valuable LinkedIn and FB connections.
Conversational topic varied from school talk to current events to life after the MBA. I heard a few comments that from SFU students that our class seems to have bonded really well for the short time we’ve been together. Maybe it’s the structure of the integrated core that helps or maybe it’s just that we have more people and a higher proportion of males that allows more bromance to blossom? Whatever the reason the students at Sauder make it an awesome place to get my ducks in a row.
