Scenes from the Fall 2014 MBA Mixer 

If you didn't attend our fall MBA Mixer, you missed a great evening! More than 80 alumni, current students, faculty, staff, members of the Martin V. Smith School of Business Advisory Council and CI's own President Richard Rush and and his wife Jane spent the evening enjoying scrumptious food and wine on a cozy patio setting at Barrel 33 in Ventura.  Networking and catching up were the order of the evening.  The spring 2015 Mixer will be held in March at a fun and festive place yet to be determined.  Details for the Spring 2015 MBA Mixer will be announced at the beginning of the year.

Network to Build Business Connections
The fastest way that you can expand your network is to connect with someone else's network.  In addition to expanding your own network, you can benefit others by connecting your network to theirs.  In other words, it isn't just who you know, it is who wants to know you, and who wants to know the people you know.

At the completion of this module, participants will be able to:

  • Choose the most appropriate groups to develop contacts
  • Utilize the secret to name remembering
  • Build on contacts for mutual benefit

Upcoming Fall 2014 Speaker Series


 Kelsey Timmerman 

 

Friday, November 21, 2014 Noon  

 

Author/Speaker. Fueled by passion and curiosity, Timmerman tells the story of the items we often take for granted and how they connect us to the world as global and local citizens. 

 

His latest book, Where Am I Eating? (2013), confronted slavery in the Ivory Coast cocoa industry, and explored Fair Trade coffee farming in Colombia, as he uncovered the realities of the global food industry that is supporting our "all-American" diet.
