Hello everyone!
I am back from my cross country road trip and happy to report I am officially based in the San Francisco Bay Area again.
I have many stories to share from the road, but before I recap my trip, I wanted to give a quick plug for my friend and fellow Twitterer Aman Singh Das, Corporate [...]

One of the best things about being in grad school and conducting a job search is getting to do informational interviews.
As an MBA student I had the opportunity to connect with and ask questions of professionals in CSR, philanthropy, social enterprise and sustainable business. Luckily, even though business school is over, I’m still able to [...]

Well folks – I’m all done with business school!

After a whirlwind week of celebrations – and just a little pomp and circumstance – the dust is finally settling and life is returning to normal (although, one quick plug, I’m still looking for a job!)
But before we close this chapter completely, I wanted to share a quick [...]

I’m thrilled to announce that in two weeks I’ll be graduating from business school!

In the last four [...]

I’m pleased to share that my birthday was this week (for those who know me well, you know this is a big deal).
I love birthdays in general, and I especially love mine. Why?
Well, my birthday is an important time for me for a couple of reasons. Yes, I love cake and presents and having an [...]

As I mentioned in an earlier post on The Changebase, one of the projects I’ve been working on this semester is a CSR Reporting Directed Study for a Fortune 300 company.
This company (who will remain nameless since the project is still ongoing) contacted the Boston University School of Management and asked if the school would [...]

Perhaps one of the best parts of being a second year MBA student is getting to pick my schedule. Unlike first year, where all of the core business classes were chosen for me, as a second year student I get to decide which electives I want to take.
Not only has this been a relief (since [...]

This past weekend over 2,400 MBA students, CSR professionals and social entrepreneurs congregated on the campus of Cornell University for the 2009 Net Impact Conference.
For those of you not “in the know,” Net Impact is an international network of people looking to use their business skills to create global social change.
