Please read Part II below before reading this post.
Remember the being-in-a-cocoon part? I kicked off my business school experience just after moving to Hanover and before classes began at Tuck. It started with going to the P&G summer camp, (which I later realized was a tougher thing to get into than even a top business school); I did the Outward Bound program with my classmates which I highly recommend to everyone – it’s catharsis! I represented Tuck and Dartmouth at the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR); I helped organize the VC-trek to Silicon Valley and Seattle last spring; I am a co-chair of the Private Equity Club, an organizer of the News Hour program (which is an opportunity to bring students and faculty together in an open forum to discuss latest happenings in the world), a host fellow at the Center for Private Equity and Entrepreneurship, an MBA Fellow at the Center for International Business, and a Leadership Fellow at the Center for Leadership.
As regards international exposure, after I completed my internship in New York, I flew to New Delhi, India to work on a field study in international business project exploring growth opportunities in the retail sector (see my earlier post “Field Study in International Business.”) Currently, I am in Paris studying abroad at HEC School of Management in the fall quarter. Having never worked outside the US, I am getting a distinctly non US-centric view of the world and it has been a revelation. I’ll have more to say about my experiences in Paris in future blogs.
So there you go, that’s everything I’ve done at Tuck until now. You will know how this story takes shape in future blogs. But one thing is certain: Every one of these experiences that I have written about, I will cherish for the rest of my life!
