We are deeply saddened by the tragic events that occurred in Haiti earlier today. A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, west of Port-Au-Prince, and 23 aftershocks devastated the country’s towns and infrastructure. The BBSA is asking for your support. We request that you donate funds and goods toward the Haiti recovery and relief effort. In the near future, we will designate organizations to assist with this initiative. Thank you for your support in advance.

Check the schedule on the right for upcoming review sessions.

No excuses! Your BBSA family is here for you…

Please note the Dec. 2nd Apollo Theater event has been postponed until further notice.

Congrats to BBSA member Justin Kidwell ‘11 for being on the team that won the Columbia Business School Corporate Social Responsibility Case Competition sponsored by IBM. This year’s case was “The Norwegian Government Pension Fund: The Divestiture of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.” written by Andrew Ang, the Ann F. Kaplan Professor of Business. The case considered the exclusion of Wal-Mart from the Norwegian Government Pension Fund’s investment universe and the subsequent divestiture of Wal-Mart by the fund; it looks at the issues socially responsible investing raises for portfolio managers. “Norway’s stance on ethical investing comes from the society and they view it as an important issue.”

CONGRATULATIONS JUSTIN!

Greetings Family,

I trust that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  After the BBSA conference “Paths to Success” panel, Jullien Gordon was inspired to write a “Letter To An MBA” – see link below.  Please share this letter with anyone you might know that has an MBA or is in pursuit of one.

Dear Columbia BBSA,

It was truly an honor to address you all on the carer panel last Friday. I hope that I shifted you thoughts about your passions, purpose, and profession. I enjoyed sharing my story with you and I wanted to let you know that my time with you inspired a written piece called “Letter To An MBA.”

Check it out at: http://julliengordon.mvmt.com/2009/11/26/letter-to-an-mba.

Some of you also expressed interest in my books The 8 Cylinders of Success: How to Align your Personal & Professional Purpose and Good Excuse Goals: How to End Procrastination & Perfectionism Forever. If you or anyone you know is look for personal and professional direction or is dealing with perfectionism and procrastination, these books will help. Click the image below to check out sample chapters from both books.

Thanks & Happy Holidays,

Jullien Gordon
