Claremont 真的是個很威的地方...

今天意外看到US News Best Colleges 2010的美國liberal arts colleges排名 連結在此:

http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/liberal-arts-rankings

結果證實Claremont Colleges裡面的學校各個都是赫赫有名的Liberal Arts 學校

所謂Liberal Arts College 根據US News的定義是

"The Nation's 266 liberal arts colleges emphasize under-graduate education and award at least half of their degrees in the arts and sciences. Most are private institutions."

想更深入了解請參閱 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_arts_college

這個ranking 中 全美前20名就有三間是Claremont Colleges (總共也才七間) 底下的學校

Pomona College - No. 6

Claremont McKenna College - No. 11

Harvey Mudd College - No. 14

簡單說 就是這個小小的Claremont City 其實是很威的

大家應該好好利用這邊其他學校的資源 以此共勉

要找工作/實習的同學請注意!

首先 這是學校career center 發給 MBA 同學的信

Hi Drucker Students,

In addition to my newsletter this week, I wanted to remind everyone about some upcoming national career fairs:

National Black MBA Conference. Sept. 22

http://www.nbmbaa.org/index.aspx?PageID=674&Conference

LA Career Forum for Japanese-English Bilinguals Oct. 9

http://www.careerforum.net/event/la/index.asp?lang=E

National Society of Hispanic MBA Conference Oct 8

http://www.nshmba.org/conference

Please note NBMBA and NSHMBA are diversity organizations that are open to all MBAs. If you are interested in attending NSHMBA, please respond to the email. I may be able to get a discount on airfare for students, but I need at least 15 students who are interested in attending this conference.

Sincerely,
Paul Hardister

Drucker Office of Career Management

裡面的NSHMBA 天佑, Alex(MBA 2009), 跟我 去年都有參加 (還有一位已經找到工作的強人學姐Janet), 這個career fair 相當大, 參加公司都是很值得去談的公司, 尤其對於新來的同學們, 是一個很好的磨練機會, 也是找intern很大的一個平台, 今年NSHMBA是在十月八到十號, 可惜今年天佑不會一起去了(去鹿特丹找洋妞吧你), 但是Alex和我都已經回覆career center說我們要去, 所以在這邊把資訊post 出來 邀請大家一起參加, 磨練磨練也見見世面, 尤其最近就業市場似乎有比去年此時好一點, 或許有些同學可以在這邊找到工作.

對於非MBA的同學 Alex和我都還是建議大家研究一下 參考一下 因為根據我們去年參加的經驗 career expo的工作職缺通常不會只限制在MBA學生 雖然或許有七八成是business major的職缺 如果有中意的公司 或想要去試試身手 這都還是一個很值得去的career fair

這裡有去年一起去的同學寫的心得

這個連結是註冊的資料 基本上我和Alex會報名 Non-member & Career Expo Only的那個Option

九月八號之前報名的話有不小的discount 所以我們應該會在那之前報名

此外 同樣的那個周末 有另外一個英/日文雙語的 career fair在LA 也就是上面那封信中提到的LA career forum 如果覺得不想跑太遠但那周末有空的同學 也可以去LA Career Forum看看 這個是免費參加的 但同樣這個主辦單位 會在十一月在Boston有一個更大規模Boston Career Forum所以如果要去Boston Career Forum的同學 LA Career Forum的重複性會很高就是了

以上 簡短的跟大家報告 抱歉講得有點亂

總之 請有興趣的同學/學弟妹 和我或Alex聯絡

我們可以一起訂機票飯店 會便宜不少 請大家好好考慮 儘早回覆 方便一起安排

感謝

修課經驗分享: Global Strategy & Trade - Oxford Program, Drucker School of Management

I Just finished the trip in Oxford, UK. This is a nice trip with all kinds of different experiences.

Although it's an interesting and fun trip, I did go there for a class: Global Strategy & Trade.

Many Drucker School senior students recommended this class to me, and after taking it by myself, I would like to recommend this class to everyone in Drucker School & CGU, too.

This class does not only open to MBA students in Drucker School, but also accept PHD students in CGU and, of course, EMBA students. This structure of students makes the program more diverse, and I appreciate it.

There are two professors and many guest speakers giving lectures during the two weeks in Oxford. We had either lecture from professor in the morning and guest speaker in the afternoon, or vice versa. The assignments were heavy but helpful, we needed to finish all the readings and writings before we arrived Oxford so that we can enjoy the time being there.

All the social events and tours arranged in Oxford were interesting. Although I could not understand the Shakespeare play, I did enjoy watching it. We visited Wembley Stadium and Mini car plant, and both were pretty informative and fun.

The best part is the interaction with classmates and professors. Every student stayed in the same dorm and we were all having the same schedule for classes, events, and meals. Thus, we could know everyone at the end and had closer relationship. I did enjoy knowing different people, especially when everyone is interested in Globalization.

Anyway, this is a really nice program that opened my eyes. The classes and speeches were from all different kinds of perspectives, and having class in Oxford is a totally different feeling from having class in Claremont. I strongly recommend everyone take this class if possible because I found it really valuable!
