Spouse Spotlights Night 10.30.2012

Do you know how awesome the spouses of MBASA are? If not, you should head over to our Spotlights page to read about the amazing and diverse women who make up our community.

The Spouse Spotlights Night was put on by the Communications Committee and the Guru Program as a way to get to know each other better; we want all the spouses to recognize faces and learn names and feel like they have a place here.

We started out the evening with a little "Speed Friendshipping" where we got to learn more about each other one-on-one. We interspersed that with "Spotlight Trivia" where we asked questions based on the submitted spotlights. We got every question right!

We also held a drawing for those who had submitted a spotlight. We had three prizes and three winners: Bitsy Tesimale, Anne Durham, and Debora Mijanos.

Thanks to everyone who came to our activity!

Guru Night 8.21.12

Our first official MBASA activity of the year was a great success and we're glad so many first and second year spouses could make it out to the activity.

The Guru program is designed to welcome new first year spouses into MBASA by pairing them up with second year spouses who can answer questions about the MBA program and help them navigate the MBASA waters. MBASA is filled with many incredible spouses, but we know it can be very intimidating and overwhelming at the start.

Head Guru Jessica Ivins welcomed the new spouses and explained a little about how the guru program works and what MBASA does.

Second year spouses Chelsea Nielsen, Calista Perazzo, Alli Krewson, and AnneMarie Farner shared their experiences and tips for surviving the first year, supporting your spouse through their internship search and what they wished they had known at the beginning of last year.

Coming soon, we'll have a First Year's Survival Guide, full of more information and tips for incoming spouses.

Our next activity will be one that you won't want to miss, the MBASA Opening Social, next Wednesday, August 29, 6:30pm at the Hinckley Alumni Building.
