Networking Cruise

October 29th, 2009 by pollardj

The European Chambers of commerce sponsored a networking event this past week in Manhattan. It was held on a cruise ship, and we went around the southern tip of Manhattan – with full open bar and buffet! It was a very nicely held event, and quite well attended. I was pleasantly surprised to see many of my IIB students there. I think everyone had a good time, and I made some good contacts.

October 20th, 2009 by pollardj

Hi,
Well we moved the students to NYC on Friday with little problems. The housing they are in were ready, and had id cards and keys ready when we came in the door! Students were in their rooms and unpacking within 30 minutes- a new record I think!

Internship placements this semester include:
Ardistia, Benetton, Bertelsmann, Chanel, Donna Karan International, Polo Ralph Lauren, Skandinviska Enskilada Banken (SEB), SONY Pictures Entertainment, Taconic Investment Partners LLC, Museum of Modern Art, Tommy Hilfiger, Trafelet Delta Funds, VH1 Production, Viacom and Wing Latino.

Congratulations to all the students for competing for and winning internships in these great companies!
