I think I saw the Affordable Care Act as a sign that healthcare was going to need a major overhaul from the provider side within the coming years, and the idea of being involved in that excited me. It wasn't until I started class here that I really understood just how large the new frontier of personalized medical technology, as a result of a realignment of provider-payor incentives, and value-based care was turning out to be. </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">On top of that, my parents were entrepreneurs--both of them immigrated to this country from the former Soviet Union, and within a few years, my father had started his own consulting business, and my mother helped him run it. Growing up, I watched them work hard to grow their business. My dad taught me how a stock market worked when I was in middle school. I always loved learning business informally over the dinner table, but I wanted to academically fill the gaps with an MBA. </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>What was the deciding factor/s to go to Rutgers for this degree?</b></span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The football team (I'm kidding, but go RU!). Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School was my first choice in terms of where I wanted to be for my medical education. That was really the deciding factor for me. </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">That said, I was blown away by the caliber of faculty at Rutgers Business School. Some of the greatest professors I've ever had, and if I had to do the MBA portion over again, I'd choose Rutgers every time. </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><b><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">You pursued the MBA portion of this degree during your first year in the program.

Healthcare is complicated, and to say that most clinicians today don't have the time to understand how the industry works at the macroscopic level is an understatement. Physicians' time is too valuable for operational inefficiencies, miscommunication, and bureaucratic politics. Understanding the pain points of healthcare delivery before diving head-first into the job is a unique perspective that will allow me to mold my career in a way that aims to alleviate these pains. </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><b><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What interests you the most in this program?</span></b><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The unique perspective on the industry, especially with Rutgers' outstanding pharmaceutical management, healthcare services management, and health operations faculty. I'll never forget the picture of the healthcare industry that was painted for me by the outstanding professors in the program. </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>What are some of the biggest insights you gained from your year in the MBA program?</b></span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Healthcare Management custom concentration allowed me to take elective classes at the School of Public Health and the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Health Economics, Health Finance, Health Policy, and US Healthcare/Pharma Managed Markets were some of the most valuable classes in terms of broadening my understanding of what's happening right now with regards to health reform. </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>What is some advice you would give to someone in the M.D.-MBA program that has yet to take any MBA courses yet?</b></span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">There was very little career guidance offered to us MD/MBA Students. Understandably so, considering the assumption is that we'll all become practicing physicians, and job security is certainly not an issue. Nonetheless, here are my bits of advice:</span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">1. Use the year to expand your horizons--there is so much opportunity for physicians outside of clinical practice. </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">2. Talk to classmates, they all have unique perspectives with regards to healthcare. Some of them have years of experience in the industry. </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">3. Go to healthcare-specific events and meet entrepreneurs and employees. </span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">4. The degree is of little use as extra signage at the end of your name--use what you're learning in class and apply it elsewhere.</span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Would you go about anything differently if you were to do the MBA program again?</b></span><br style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I think I made the most of my year, so probably not.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I suppose I was
a “Jersey Girl” till I went to New York University for my B.S. in Information
Systems and Management & Organizational Behavior. I lived and worked in NYC
for a few years and when I got tired of crowded subways, took an opportunity in
Boston for a couple of years. As a healthcare consultant during a dynamic time
in the industry, I got to travel all over the country and work on a variety of
projects. I decided to come to Rutgers Business School to take my career to the
next level and also come back home.</span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

obvious but my biggest lesson this past year was realizing that different
people have different work styles and standards. Most people don’t adjust theirs
so if you can learn how to accommodate yourself and manage others’ differences
and still foster a productive/harmonious team environment, you’ll be successful
in a career in management. </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

lead a project and experience all that comes with it—creative problem solving,
understanding the business, influencing stakeholders to get buy-in for proposed
solutions, and following through by implementing the solutions. Experiencing
both the successes and failures of being a leader helped me grow my career in a
way that I had not been able to before.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Given that
Procurement is a support function, I would hope to see that I made some real
and positive impact in the lives of my business partners. I worked with a team that
was frustrated with the procurement process in general so I hope my efforts
changed their perspective and they see procurement as invaluable.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I will refute
the advice to “take it one day at a time.” Instead, look ahead and plan ahead. Business
school is more about working smart than working hard. It is incredibly time
consuming and you simply will not have the time to get everything done. How successful
you are at planning ahead and being strategic about how you spend your time
will be key to having a productive and balanced two years. That said, take
advantage of every opportunity you get! Network, get to know your professors
and let them get to know you, sit in the front row, go to corporate
presentations as well as happy hours with your new friends. You’ll never get to
live this lifestyle again (unless you go back to business school) so live it
fully!</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Business school
is less academic and more experiential than I expected—but this is a good thing
and a pleasant surprise! Yes, grades matter but I would argue that the
connections you make and relationships you build are more important.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I was fully
committed to getting my MBA and wanted to keep my focus on business school and not
be distracted by anything else. I don’t think I would have had the time or
energy to build the network, relationships, and camaraderie that I have as a
part time student.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’m basically a Jersey native - went to Rutgers University New Brunswick for undergrad (<i>go Scarlet Knights!</i>) where I majored in Exercise Science and Psychology. I “stumbled upon” advertising/marketing after college and ended up loving it. Before RBS, I was at Bristol-Myers Squibb in their advertising department as well as at Digitas Health working in healthcare advertising for Pfizer and Abbvie. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hmm….I think it’s a tie between Marketing Strategy (Prof. Kalan) and Consumer Behavior (Prof. Burgess).

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Connecting with like-minded, furiously ambitious people in my class. Because the full-time class is pretty small, you are able to form close-knit relationships with each person.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Don’t stress about grades as much. B-school is very different from undergrad, wherein, you are here to accelerate your career development - always have that end goal in mind. Networking (<i>read: schmoozing</i>) and making meaningful connections with people that can help you grow in your career is more valuable than getting an A+ in Microeconomics. I think absorbing the right information and truly learning to enrich yourself is more important than the letter grade. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is not important to have all the answers but it is important to know people who do</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is a big difference between networking and </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">meaningful</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> networking and it is important to understand that difference. Generally, “networking” is synonymous with having a cocktail and talking about sports but my internship has taught me that it is deeper than that. In order to make an impact on senior leaders at work, it is critical to have a set agenda of what you want to discuss and make sure to ask thought-provoking questions (<i>i.e stuff you can’t Google</i>)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> First and foremost, I want to add value to my team by delivering successfully on all of summer projects. I want my manager and team to realize that I am an asset to the team. You want to try and make yourself as indispensable as possible.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Secondly, I also want to continue to grow my network and learn more about the areas in pharma that I know nothing about. Being an intern is a huge advantage because everybody is so willing to talk to you and will make time for you - I’ve been using this opportunity to connect with senior leaders in other departments of the company such as Finance, R&D, etc. This is a good way to demonstrate your passion for the company and maximize your facetime with as many people as possible (But remember - </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">meaningful</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> networking)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Invest in your career early. There is very little room to “explore” at B-school, you should really have a fairly detailed idea of what career path you want to take that way you can tailor your experiences at school and make yourself marketable for your unique set of opportunities. Coming into school, I knew I wanted to get into pharmaceutical marketing. Based on this, I registered for several of the pharma management classes at school (</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yes, this is a plug for Branning’s US Healthcare class</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">). I went to all of the pharma/healthcare focused corporate presentations and events, learned as much about the industry as I could and as a result, was able to have well-informed, meaningful conversations with industry professionals at interviews, networking events and at my internship. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> The importance of time management. The first semester can be extremely overwhelming - you have classes, recruiting and extra-curriculars to balance. I procrastinated way too much initially and immediately regretted it (</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">when I pulled an all-nighter for the Financial Management midterm</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">).

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Think of time as a set of scales with ‘Career’ on one side and ‘Classes’ on the other - sometimes, you are going to have to prioritize career if a corporate presentation and interview is coming up. Whereas, if you have already secured an internship, you may want to focus more on classes. It really just depends on the week. Get comfortable with not being able to be everywhere at once! </span></div>

You can attend networking events, attend career workshops on Fridays, go to Martinis in the middle of the day with your classmates (</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">it’s always <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1678732300" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">5pm</span></span> somewhere, right?</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4a86e8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">).

<span style="text-align: center;">Last week students, faculty and staff celebrated Diwali, one of the largest festivals in India. To celebrate "The Festival of Lights", the </span><a href="http://www.business.rutgers.edu/current-students/mba/student-organizations/iso" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">International Student Organization</a><span style="text-align: center;"> decorated the 2nd floor lounge and threw a party complete with food, drinks, dancing and entertainment. Members of the Full-Time Class of 2016 and 2017 participated in a talent show where students sang, dance and walked in a fashion show. After the entertainment, there was an Indian Buffet and students sang karaoke and danced some more! It was also so fun to see everyone dressed up in traditional Indian clothes! Thanks to the ISO board for throwing such a fun event!</span><br />

The day started with an introduction from <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/noellebruno" target="_blank">Noelle Bruno</a>, ZS
Recruiter, who welcomed the students to the Princeton office and went over the
agenda for the day. <a href="http://www.zsassociates.com/About/Leadership%20Team/Glenn%20Sabin.aspx" target="_blank">Glenn Sabin</a>, Principal, then gave an overview of the
company and its history. He also answered questions from students about the
type of clients ZS works with and the effect big data has had on market
research. Glenn’s talk was followed by a Lunch & Learn delivered by MRIA
Advisory Board member, <a href="http://www.zsassociates.com/about/leadership-team/paul-kraus.aspx" target="_blank">Paul Kraus</a>. He spoke about how market research and
customer insights drive sales and marketing, market research best practices,
and the <a href="http://www.zsassociates.com/solutions/expertise/marketing/customer-insights.aspx" target="_blank">ZS Customer Insights</a> team. Students learned a lot about the framework
for a successful market research study from Paul. The next event scheduled was
a Panel Discussion with Business Consultants <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-newcomb-8a04348" target="_blank">Sean Newcomb</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAkAAAFQhh4BGPbyl5MK0s5vAN_7NCjwHJMdamA&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=lBR8&locale=en_US&trk=tyah&trkInfo=clickedVertical%3Amynetwork%2CclickedEntityId%3A22054430%2CauthType%3ANAME_SEARCH%2Cidx%3A1-1-1%2CtarId%3A1447713525452%2Ctas%3Aadam%20schnei" target="_blank">Adam Schneider</a> and
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-hattem-0835ba11" target="_blank">Josh Hattem</a>, and Business Consulting Manager Jennifer Minuchi. They talked
about how they got to their respective jobs, gave examples of projects they are
currently working on, and offered advice for MBA students considering entering
consulting. The day wrapped up with a lively discussion with MRIA Advisory
Board member and Principal, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bekia-fosam-a2341b" target="_blank">Bekia Fosam</a>. He asked students to summarize what they
learned from the day and also answered any lingering questions. He concluded by
telling students the two things necessary to be successful consultants: keep
learning all the time and never be satisfied with your work. <o:p></o:p></div>

In business, Procurement is the act of buying the goods and
services necessary to keep a company operational. While it may seem simple in
theory, it’s a complex field that requires strategic and analytical thinking in
conjunction with softer skills such as emotional intelligence and
communication. <o:p></o:p></div>

The panel then kicked off with a video where the Novartis
CEO, Joseph Jimenez, talks about the mission of Novartis and the patients they
serve. It was very clear that all of the work Novartis does is centered on
allowing patients to overcome their respective diseases and live a normal life.
Mr. Jimenez <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>explained, “<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">I have arrived at a very simple concept:
normal is extraordinary. There is nothing more extraordinary than a normal life</span>." <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAkAAAH4mAABeRxBqKV1YmLGHX_egx6LJBanQbI&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=AXZA&locale=en_US&trk=tyah&trkInfo=clickedVertical%3Amynetwork%2CclickedEntityId%3A33069056%2CauthType%3ANAME_SEARCH%2Cidx%3A1-1-1%2CtarId%3A1447030648673%2Ctas%3Ami" target="_blank">Mike Koskulics</a>, Co-President of the Pharmaceutical Management Club, served
as the panel moderator and segued into the discussion by asking the panelists
what inspired them to get to the point in their careers they are at today. All
of the panelists came from different backgrounds, but it was clear they all
have a passion for Procurement and the effect it can have on an organization
like Novartis. Mr. Brueckner talked about how he wanted to work in Procurement
because it gives you a broad view of the company and the business. Mr. McKenna
comes from an academic background and described how the world of academia
shaped his professional career in Procurement. Mr. Michaels noted that
Procurement is all about saving money and at Novartis, every dollar he is able
to save can go developing new drugs or helping patients pay for their
medication. Mr. Bittiger explained how procurement also affects the top line in
a business and that is what inspires him. If he is able to do his job well and
form strategic partnerships with top suppliers, he can make Novartis their
client of choice and this ensures that Novartis’s products are brought to
market in the most efficient and successful way possible. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next topic of discussion focused on how students can be
successful in Novartis without a strong Pharmaceutical background. Ms. Moran assured
students that it’s OK to come to Novartis without a Pharmaceutical background.
Instead of having broad knowledge about the industry, having skills essential
to the function of Procurement is more important. Ms. Mosco elaborated by
saying skills like being able to develop relationships and effectively
communicate are the most important to her career. <o:p></o:p></div>

Last Thursday, members of the <a href="http://www.business.rutgers.edu/current-students/mba/student-organizations/mria" target="_blank">Rutgers Marketing Research Insights & Analytics Club</a> traveled to the Nielsen corporate headquarters in NYC for a site visit. <a href="http://www.nielsen.com/us/en.html" target="_blank">Nielsen</a> is a global information and measurement company that specializes in helping their clients understand consumer behavior. Nielsen has two principal reporting segments, Watch & Buy, and students were able to learn about the way Nielsen conducts Audience Measurement in the Watch segment. Brian Apter, VP Digital Client Solutions, spoke with students in the "Nielsen Den" to demonstrate, on a number of multimedia platforms, how Nielsen technology measures what consumers watch. Students were able to see first hand how Nielsen's People meter can keep track of exactly what multiple members of a household are watching on a daily basis. After showcasing how the technology works, students were able to speak with Mr.Apter about a number of topics such as how Nielsen is adapting to increased platforms for viewing content, the business behind TV advertisements and differences between Network and Cable television. The afternoon ended with lunch and networking with members of HOLA (Hispanic Organization of Leaders in Action), an employee resource group.<br />

<div>
<span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks so much Kamali for taking time out of your busy schedule to do this interview! First off, how did you end up at the Rutgers MBA program? What made you decide to pursue both an MBA and MD? </span></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">During my interview at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, the student interviewers gave us a complete overview of the school. This included information such as student demographics, clubs/organizations and dual degrees. When they told us an MBA was only a 1-year program I decided to look into it if I was accepted into RWJ. My first year of medical school, I realized I was going to have to take off 2 years to train for the Olympics instead of doing 3rd and 4th year of medical school due to the rigorous schedule. When I remembered how appealing the MBA program was, I looked into the classes offered. I thought it would be a great idea to take business and healthcare policy classes because eventually I want to open my own medical practice. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">What do you envision doing with the dual degree? What kind of jobs will you be looking for after you finish school? </span></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After I receive my medical degree, I plan on becoming a primary care sports medicine physician, meaning I will need to do a primary care residency and a sports medicine fellowship. My end career goal is to have a multidisciplinary sports medicine office, where professional athletes will be able to see all of the doctors involved with their medical care (e.g. primary care physicians, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists). In order to be experienced enough to open that practice I want to work for a professional sports team first, preferably football or basketball. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">What's been your favorite class at RBS? </span></b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #222222; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span><span style="font-family: inherit;">My favorite class was Buying and Managing Mid-Market Businesses with Pankaj Amin. He was such an amazing teacher! It was once of the most practical classes I've taken. As soon as the class was over I felt like I was ready to go out and buy a business. The best part was he didn't just teach us how to buy a company, but how to evaluate investments in general. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now onto the fun stuff...How did you end up becoming an Olympic Contender for the U.S. Women's Saber Fencing Team? </span></b></span></div>

<span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I didn't start fencing until high school which is really late for fencing and sports in general. My senior year of college I finished 6th at NCAA Championships and was really proud of how much I accomplished in such a small timeframe. I wasn't ready to give up fencing just because I was going to medical school and I still had room for improvement so I decided to try to qualify for the Olympics! My first year in medical school, I started traveling to international competitions and shot up to a top-10 ranking in the country. Last year was my best year because I finished 2nd at three national competitions, indicating I was moving in the right direction. It was also the first year I was able to attend all 8 of the international competitions, which allowed me to seriously attempt qualifying for the national team.</span></span></div>

<span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">You said you spend a lot of time traveling internationally to participate in competitions. What's been your favorite place to compete so far? </span></b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #222222; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I've been to 15 countries and Italy is by far my favorite place in the world! I've seen 3 cities, not the famous cities, very unexpected locations because that's where the competitions were held. I love Italy so much that earlier this year I went to Livorno just train with the Italian team for a week! The people I've encountered in these cities really enjoy life and spend time with their family and friends everyday dissimilar to the fast paced environment we experience in the NYC metro area. Also, the food in Italy is much healthier and satisfying than food in America. I can't believe I'm able to eat at all when I come back home.</span></span></div>

<span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Pursing a dual degree alone is a lot of work. How do you manage that AND your rigorous training schedule? </span></b></span></div>

<span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The key for me has always been time management. I know I don't have much time so I have to use every possible moment to study, complete homework assignments or watch videos for fencing. Sometimes that means reading articles and writing papers on the bus to practice or on flights to competitions. I’ve also become excellent at scheduling and usually schedule every hour of the day to ensure I complete all of my assignments. If I don't schedule everything, a task usually gets forgotten about.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I practice in the Chelsea area of NYC, but I don't see much of the city. In my spare time I like to explore new areas of the city and do activities like visit museums or parks. Sometimes I won't see my friends for weeks at a time if I'm away for a competition so usually I'm just happy catching up with them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Hello everyone!! I am currently a MBA Global Marketing & Communications Intern at <a href="http://www.hp.com/country/us/en/uc/welcome.html" target="_blank">Hewlett Packard</a>, working in the Financial Services (HPFS) business unit right here in New Jersey. I actually started in March and my internship is for a year, so I’ll still be here part time once the semester begins.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s an exciting time right now at HP as the company is going through a separation and will be split into two organizations in November. I am definitely here at a good time because I am getting the firsthand experience of going through a large transition at a top 20 company and involved in the process of implementing and communicating a new brand strategy (names, logos and messaging) to employees, customers and partners.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Currently, I work on various projects focusing on global internal communications and sales and colleague engagement. Some of my daily tasks include designing and creating content for our intranet pages, Yammer account (internal social media), and internal reference materials to support the sales team including separation information. I am also learning everyday about IT consumption and the financial aspect of technology for businesses and enterprises. <span style="color: red;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve had diverse and interesting experiences here thus far, ranging from volunteering for the Take your Kids to Work Day activities to donating blood for the first time to attending a Brooklyn Nets game. One of my first major projects was actually coordinating the second annual HPFS mini golf tournament for philanthropy day with proceeds going to <a href="http://www.roomtoread.org/" target="_blank">Room to Read</a>. This was a fun experience as I love to plan events and got the opportunity to meet a lot of colleagues in the office.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since, I will not have an official summer break prior to starting school again, I’m headed to New Orleans next week for a few days of fun! See you all soon!"</span></div>

Within Finance, I am with the Revenue Recognition and Analytics team, which has a mix of both - Accounting and Finance. My team and other corporate functions are largely based out of Giralda farms in Madison, NJ, which is a beautiful location! My project over the summer was to develop analytical tools to evaluate the cash collected against the accounts receivables recorded for each of Quest's business units. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Through the summer, various lunch and learns were organized for the interns where we got a chance to meet Executive Directors and VP's from different parts of finance. The CFO attend our final presentations earlier this week and it was really good to get so much face time with him over the summer. Glad to be done with my presentation even though my internship runs for 2 more weeks! Over the summer, I also went on a lab tour (Quest's main lab is @Teterboro) and had a lunch and learn session with an ex-FBI guy who is now the head of Corporate security at Quest.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"This summer, I am interning at <a href="http://www.ansell.com/en-US" target="_blank">Ansell</a>, the personal protective equipment company that makes gloves, condoms and clothing. The company is organized into four global business units – Industrial, Medical, Single Use and Sexual Wellness. I am working for the Single Use Global Business Unit as the Global Branding and Strategic Marcom Intern with the Global Marketing team. What makes this business unit exciting, is the fact that it was created just a year back as a result of an organizational restructure and the integration of Ansell with the recently acquired<a href="http://barriersafe.com/" target="_blank"> BarrierSafe Solutions International, Inc</a>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />The object of my projects for the summer is to assist the team in product integration, portfolio optimization and create tools to elevate the expertise of the sales team. For my first project, I am assisting in the development of competitive positioning statements for all disposable gloves based on a newly created segmentation matrix. This will help them drive clearer differentiation and better integrate Ansell single-use products with BarrierSafe products. My second project is to develop a demo kit, which will allow our sales representatives to demonstrate how Ansell gloves perform better compared to competitor gloves. For this, I have been working closely with the R&D team and creative agency to design tests to demonstrate attributes such as ergonomics, enhanced grip, chemical resistance and puncture resistance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />It’s hard to believe that the internship is already coming to an end with just 2 weeks left! I have really enjoyed working with my team. The culture is extremely collaborative and transparent, which makes everyone in the organization very approachable.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />For those who have been following the blog, you have already heard from <a href="http://rutgersmba-throughthepark.blogspot.com/2015/07/summer-internship-series-susan-laavanya.html" target="_blank">Susan</a> about the lunch & learns organized by HR. These weekly sessions have been a great way for us to meet senior executives and learn about the company and the business. Some of the exciting ones were with the CEO, CFO, President of the Single Use GBU and Head of Sales for NA. Last week, Ansell organized a day cruise around Staten Island for all employees. It was a refreshing change, a great way to experience the true company culture and network with everyone!"</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"This summer I
decided to follow my heart to Cairo, Egypt. The past two months I have had the
pleasure of interning with the Innovation Team at the <a href="http://www.undp.org/" target="_blank">United Nations DevelopmentProgram</a> (UNDP). I was not originally aiming to intern in the innovation department,
but was placed there due to my MBA specializations of Strategy and
Entrepreneurship. The innovation team in Cairo is one of the highest recognized
active teams in all UNDPs across the globe and has managed to create projects
that have made substantial differences to Egypt’s development of an
entrepreneurial spirit.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #222222; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As an intern I
am exposed to a diverse set of projects with the ability to choose which ones I
see most fitting to work on, naturally I chose those dealing with
entrepreneurs. During the start of my internship I had the pleasure of working
with underprivileged men and women from various parts of the country, coming to
share their ideas on the development of their country. As an intern I was
responsible for documenting the outcomes of each activity and assisting the
potential entrepreneurs with solutions to problems that arise when wanting to
start a business. I was not only exposed to pitches (some great, some not so
great), but also to a vast amount of exciting ideas that inspired me to help
those whom are willing to grow and be better (which in turn will allow me to
grow and be better). The team and I were involved with following up with teams
and assisting them in further developing their ideas that have the potential to
make it to the market.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

thus far has given me great exposure to the business side of the NGO/social
sector. On a more cultural side, I spent most of my interning experience
fasting for the month of Ramadan, and nothing is better than breaking one’s
fast in a country where millions of others are also breaking their fast at the
same exact time! (Literally millions) Last but not least, if anyone’s looking
for a beautiful beach getaway, Egypt is the place to be! (I’ll protect you)"</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"This summer, I am a Category Marketing intern at <a href="http://www.gsk.com/en-gb/products/our-consumer-healthcare-products/" target="_blank">GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare</a> in Parsippany, NJ. GSK is the maker of prdoucts many of you have at home, including <a href="https://www.tums.com/" target="_blank">TUMS</a>, <a href="http://us.sensodyne.com/" target="_blank">Sensodyne</a>, and<a href="https://www.aquafresh.com/" target="_blank"> AquaFresh</a>. My project is to create a digital content strategy for <a href="https://www.abreva.com/" target="_blank">Abreva</a> cold sore treatment that could be scaled globally. I spent a lot of time learning about cold sores, cold sore sufferers, and their digital habits. Of course, I’m not working on it alone. Our agencies and specialists are incredible resources that are answering my questions, pointing me in the right direction, and giving me great ideas. All that is coming together to hopefully create a strategy that will engage and entertain our target audience.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As a Category Marketing intern, it took some time to start thinking from a Category perspective. It was important for me to realize that the commercials and campaigns we know and love begin as a overarching global strategy. Local markets then personalize those strategies to fit that market – that’s why campaigns and commercials could vary from country to country.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My project aside, GSK has given me and the other interns several opportunities to have coffee with the CMO and chat about our projects and anything else on our minds. We also went to one of our ad agencies to learn how a campaign evolves from an idea to final editing. Next week, I will be going to a film shoot for a 15 second iVideo commercial (those ads that play before you watch a YouTube video). The summer has flown by unbelievably quickly. It’s hard to believe in 2 weeks, we’ll be presenting our projects to senior leaders. After that, I look forward to relaxing until the Fall semester begins, which is even harder to believe." </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As a strategic
sourcing intern, with a focus on corporate spend, I worked on a couple of
different super exciting projects. One of the most visible projects was around
proposing and implementing a strategy to efficiently manage the external
workforce across division, functions and operations. This gave me incredible
exposure to collaborating with stakeholders from several different categories
at the global level. This involved understanding the current landscape,
identifying issues, risks and inefficiencies, proposing strategy to solve the
problem and building a plan around partnering with business partners across
organization to implement the solution. The best thing about this project was
the experience of working with two super cool mentors who coached me,
encouraged me and empowered me-best mentors ever!!! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My second project was
around strategizing the fleet operations focusing on cost, efficiency, accident
management and safety. It was fabulous to learn about the latest automobile
technology, telematics and autonomous driving (which for the most part is still
a concept!)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And the coolest thing
was my adventurous trip to Texas where I experienced a lot of things for the
first time in my life: hurricane, getting into a ditch, calling 911, getting
towed, missing my flight, yet making
sure that I brought back home my first cowboy cap! :-)</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Not just this, I had a
fabulous experience visiting the Cart-19 manufacturing facility in Morris Plains,
NJ. It really made me believe Novartis is pushing the boundaries of science to transform
the lives of cancer patients all over the world.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"I was super excited to find out that I was assigned to the <a href="http://www.campbellsoup.com/Products/Chunky" target="_blank">Chunky Soup</a> brand this summer. It's a beloved brand that has a unique position in the enterprise. As an Associate Brand Manager Intern, it's a particularly exciting time to be on board. This year, the marketing internship program was revamped to provide a more robust experience. During the first two weeks of the internship we were spilt into two groups of five. One group worked on a recommendation plan to advise the company on corporate transparency efforts. My group worked on advising the company on how to capture millennial consumers. After presenting to the marketing leadership team We each moved on to our brand assignments. My project is to develop a marketing strategy for Chunky to create value and differentiation in the market. To do this I'm considering positioning and promotional tactics to drive demand. It's been a great experience and I look forward to presenting in the next 2 weeks. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Although the office is in Camden, I've been living in Philadelphia. There's been so many fun activities planned for the intern class like Phillies games, consumer test kitchens, and bowling downtown. What I've enjoyed most are the weekly coffee chats with senior leaders including our president, CMO and several VPs. The level of exposure is outstanding and it's made for a great summer."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"This summer I
am interning at <a href="http://www.micron.com/" target="_blank">Micron Technology</a>, which is the last and only memory chip maker
in the US. Micron provides comprehensive memory solutions in four major applications
which are PC, mobile device, enterprise storage, and automotive. The company,
founded in 1978, is based in Boise, ID and has global operations with
manufacturing sites in the US and Asia. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am working in the
mobile business unit, which is the fastest growing segment in the company, as a
Product Line Management Intern. One month before starting my internship, my
supervisor took on a new role called Program Manager, and is responsible for
executing and facilitating cross-functional team efforts to ensure smooth
delivery of projects through a product life cycle. It is a new function area in
the new organization. The selected projects are critical to the company’s
growth and security of market share. So far, I have been working with my manager
to get the alignment with all the stakeholders that are responsible for
different function areas like marketing, R&D, manufacturing, supply chain
management, etc. My job requires me to hold strong product knowledge, process
familiarity and good communication skills to succeed. Since Micron has been
expanding its operations through acquisition, we need to work with different
geographical locations like Asia and Europe. I find it challenging, but very
exciting to participate in the process as the program manager plays a key role
in the success of the projects. The work culture in the company is good, I feel
very comfortable working with my team. People in the company do not treat you
differently because you are just an intern. People are so respectful of each
other, and this is what the company appreciates and I like it very much.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Micron recruits most
of the interns in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer
Science from schools on the West Coast and in the Midwest. As a MBA student
from New Jersey, I feel like I am a rare species in the intern groups. But it
is very nice to hang out with those engineers after work hours and on the weekends,
discovering Boise and its proximity. I am close to some interns who are living
in the same complex with me and we have done some fun outdoor activities like
mountain hiking and river rafting together in Boise. I still have six weeks to
finish my internship and have been enjoying everything here so far. I think Boise
is an underrated city in the US and I would love to come back for work!" </span></div>

Ortho Clinical was initially a subsidiary of <a href="http://www.jnj.com/" target="_blank">Johnson & Johnson</a>, but mid-last year was acquired by <a href="http://www.carlyle.com/" target="_blank">The Carlyle Group</a>- a private equity firm.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN">One of the greatest advantages I've had during this experience was in essence taking over a marketing role rather than an internship- while I do have one major 'intern project' within our clinical chemistry line, I get placed on other tasks as they rise in importance. I've learned about pricing promotions, marketing communications, developing customer facing content and a vast majority of other marketing functions. This has been accomplished all while interacting with sales teams, executives, engineers, and scientists proving to be a truly cross functional role. Another huge benefit is that I've been able to travel to multiple locations- my internship actually started with a week in LA for a product launch within our transfusion medicine line. I'm currently in Rochester this week for a series of meetings, and next week I will be off to Atlanta for the annual <a href="https://www.aacc.org/meetings-and-events/annual-meeting" target="_blank">AACC conference</a> (American Association of Clinical Chemistry), which is one of our most important events for the year. </span></span></div>

Next weekend I will actually be traveling out to Chicago for some fun (and I'll be able to meet up with some business school people as well)! While it will be nice to get out of Jersey for a weekend, my internship has been (and I am certain, will continue to be) a great experience over the three month duration, and I'm excited to see the long term results of my direct work."</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"This summer I am fortunate to work in one of my favorite places, New York City. Having explored many areas of the city, I am now able to familiarize myself with Hell’s Kitchen, the location of the <a href="http://www.medscape.com/" target="_blank">Medscape</a> office. At Medscape, a subsidiary of <a href="http://www.webmd.com/" target="_blank">WebMD</a>, I am interning with the Project Coordination team. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of Medscape’s main features is CME (Continuing Medical Education), a requirement for healthcare professionals to ensure they are learning about developing areas in their field. I have been given several responsibilities to complete for the duration of my internship. My purpose on the project coordination team is to manage the CME activities and ensure everything is in order for the project to move from one step to another. During my 5<sup>th</sup> week in the internship, I began a retrospective study in collaboration with the product management team. In the study, I am examining correlations between the activities Medscape offers and preference of these activities among specific age groups of physician completers to help Medscape increase efficiency in teaching.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Working at Medscape has been the perfect opportunity to combine my medical and business backgrounds. In the rare moments I have downtime, I watch Medscape lectures to recollect information I learned in medical school. Every <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1350633310" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span>, the interns have a lunch & learn with one of the leaders of WebMD or Medscape to gain a better understanding of each department’s role. The best part of the lunch & learn is going to the downtown WebMD office, which is in the same building as Nike and Google!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After the completion of my internship, I have the pleasure of attending 3 weddings and a music festival almost every weekend! In the meantime, if anyone wants to visit a rooftop lounge after work in NYC you know who to call!"</span></div>

say a picture is worth a thousand words and perhaps this one says it all. I
feel privileged to be interning for a company with a true passion for
transforming people’s lives. With over $47B in global revenue, <a href="https://www.novartis.com/" target="_blank">Novartis</a> is the
world’s largest pharma major. I am currently interning at the company’s US
Headquarters in East Hanover, NJ. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Normal1">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">One
of my projects have been centered around strategizing a model for selection of
multi-media production agencies that would help us carry out product launches
for key novel brands at Novartis. This involves interacting with supplier
partners, evaluating their pitch and finally awarding the business to a select
few based on a predefined set of holistic criterion. This role excites me
because it requires a delicate balance of analytical skills, relationship
development and of course consensus building. My other project is to create
alignment around the competencies of more than 200 marketing vendors within the
Market Access, Insights and Analytics category with a total spend of over $200
M. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Outside
of work, I had a chance to volunteer for a walk in support of Cystic Fibrosis
research (see pic below). The fundraiser helped collect around a million
dollars in funds for research to seek a more effective cure for Cystic Fibrosis,
a disease which affects thousands of patients worldwide. In addition, we
recently toured a cutting edge manufacturing facility for CTL019, a drug that
promises to cure Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, ALL, a type of cancer (top pic).
In a nutshell, my second stint with Novartis has been a deeply gratifying and
enriching experience."</span></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">And we're back! Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! I know a lot of people have reached or passed the halfway point, I can't believe it! This week we've got Susan Smith, Laavanya Shriram and Jaclyn Kirna talking about their internships...</span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Greetings from the distant land of Iselin, NJ, where I am interning in global financial planning and analysis at <a href="http://www.ansell.com/" target="_blank">Ansell</a>. Ansell makes personal protective equipment, such as gloves, suits, and condoms. They are a truly global company with operations in each of four regions: North America (NA), Latin America & Caribbean (LAC), Asia Pacific (APAC), and Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So far, I have worked on some small tasks – collecting information on the manufacturing sector in different countries and on general economic conditions globally in order to predict and analyze the effect of global conditions on sales and creating bridge graphs for a presentation. I am also working to model sales forecasts and analyze growth with the complicating factor of acquisitions and the seasonal nature of the business. Remember <a href="http://www.business.rutgers.edu/faculty-research/directory/lei-lei" target="_blank">Dr. Lei’s</a> seasonal forecasting models? Well, I have been putting them to use! Most recently I have been collecting information on recent sales growth of competitors and distributors in order to see if the movement in manufacturing affects them in similar ways. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has been nice to meet interns from other schools, although there is a big Rutgers contingent. Go RU. Another plus is the lunch and learns that HR has set up for us. We met the Chief Human Resource Officer who gave us an overview of the company. We also met a brand manager and learned about a new product, both how it was developed and how a market is being created for it. The Director of IT gave us a view of how the IT department interacts with and supports the rest of the business. We will also be lunching and learning with a NA head of sales as well as the CEO."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"This summer, I am working for <a href="https://www.rabweb.com/" target="_blank">RAB Lighting</a>, based out of Northvale, NJ. In little over a month, I have had 2 dinner parties, 7-9 cakes, and above all hands-on experience in various aspects of supply chain - procurement, inventory management, demand planning, new product development and logistics.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />RAB is a third generation family owned U.S. company and the fastest growing company in New Jersey too. The company manufacturers and distributes commercial LED lighting. A year ago, the company began forming it's Supply Chain department and has been a growing team since. As a Supply Chain Intern, I am mainly focussing on demand forecasting & inventory management. I feel really lucky to have found this position as I am able to rotate in each team within the SC department, helping enhance/apply all that I have learnt via RBS. Also, the coolest thing, as the entire company located in one building, I literally walk through each process or department and see how they function. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Be it working in excel to report KPI trends or applying OB concepts enabling change management during Lean events, I find learning is everywhere and summer is too short to fully absorb it. I hope to gather as much as I can here and hopefully define my career path. This is also my first experience working for a small company (well when compared to MNC's I earlier worked for) with strong culture. Today I can vouch that there is a thing named work culture fit. Though my colleagues are diverse and unique, because we all have similar ideologies it makes working together fun and easy. I feel much more confident in voicing my opinions or ideas. The entire company has a family kind of vibe, anyone can walk into any space (yep even CEO's office) without feeling awkward and have an open conversation about anything. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On a personal front, thanks to a 30 mile commute, I finally bought a car and have been making the most of it. Our classmate, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=205851470&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=1SEA&locale=en_US&trk=tyah&trkInfo=clickedVertical%3Amynetwork%2Cidx%3A1-1-1%2CtarId%3A1436499976242%2Ctas%3Amegh" target="_blank">Meghana Talasila</a>, also on the same team as me, is in the same boat. So we hangout a lot and cherish our Rutgers roots. We have been exploring some hidden hiking gems in the Tristate area. Anyone interested?"</span></div>

on two teams: Global Commercial Operations and Accounts Receivable – Working
Capital Initiatives. On Pfizer’s GCO team, I have been collaborating with
leadership team members and Op. Plan leads to help prepare Pfizer’s 2016
Operating Plan and build a compensation model for GCO spend. I am also assisting GCO leadership team
members with reevaluating their monthly reporting, forecasting, and budgeting
processes based on regional needs. On
the Accounts Receivable team, I assist with DSO (days sales outstanding)
trending, reporting, and analysis and I help the team prepare and validate AR
reporting packages. During my time on
both teams, I am working to improve the efficiency of Pfizer’s reporting
processes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I just finished week 6 of my internship and it’s hard to
believe how fast it is flying by!
Pfizer’s internship program has given me a lot of exposure to senior
executives through the various lunch & learns planned for the MBA summer
associates. This past Tuesday, we had a
summer speaker session with Chairman of the Board & CEO, <a href="http://www.pfizer.com/about/history/ian_read" target="_blank">Ian Read</a>. He shared his career path as well as his perspective
on transformational leadership and it was exciting that the interns had the
opportunity to ask him questions at the end of the session. At Pfizer, the MBA
interns also work on a live case study throughout the summer. My team is comprised of 2 finance interns and
a procurement intern. In early August, we
will be presenting our recommendation to our managers and senior executives in
the company. Earlier this summer, Pfizer colleagues volunteered at Camp Sebago
(a camp located outside of NYC for inner city children). I spent the day cleaning up the campsite with
colleagues from different Pfizer locations and it was fun to watch a dance
routine that the children performed for us that afternoon. We lucked out with good weather and the lake
up there was beautiful!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s hard to believe that just a year ago, I was teaching 22
super energetic third graders. It’s been
a challenging yet exciting career change into the corporate world, but I’m
really enjoying the experience. The best
part is that I’m working with people who love what they do and I’m learning
something new every day!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"This summer I’m interning at <a href="https://healthcare.bayer.com/scripts/pages/en/index.php" target="_blank">Bayer Healthcare</a> in Whippany, NJ where I’m working on the <a href="http://www.essure.com/" target="_blank">Essure </a>2016 brand plan. Essure is a non-surgical, permanent birth control device that Bayer purchased for over $1 billion a couple of years ago from a company called Conceptus. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So far, my experience at Bayer has been great. Working on the brand plan, I’ve gotten the chance to dive into every facet of pharmaceutical marketing—from advertising to sales training to pricing. While I’ve learned a lot, my favorite part of the experience has been seeing how marketing in the pharmaceutical industry actually works. Often times, the media portrays pharmaceutical companies as cold, money-hungry corporations that care more about the bottom line than the patients. My experience couldn’t be more different than this. On a daily basis, I witness far more discussions about the patient experience and physician support than profits. While getting hands-on experience in my chosen field has been amazing, the best part of my internship has been getting to be a part of an organization filled with people that truly care about helping people and doing the right thing. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At this point in my internship, I have one month left before my presentation to the Executive Committee, a group composed of the heads of each business unit along with the CEO. I know these few weeks will continue to get more intense, as I race to learn everything I can and package it all together into what I hope will be a great presentation. Fortunately, I won’t be working non-stop the entire time. This coming weekend, my fellow Bayer interns and I are going to have a fun, work-free weekend in Atlantic City!"</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"This summer I am lucky enough to be working in Somerville, NJ at <a href="http://www.ethicon.com/" target="_blank">Ethicon</a>, part of the <a href="http://www.jnj.com/" target="_blank">Johnson & Johnson</a> family of companies and one of the world’s largest medical device manufacturers. Ethicon specializes in surgical care, and the Somerville site focuses specifically on R&D and manufacturing of wound closure and hemostasis products.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As an MBA intern in finance, one of several Leadership Development Programs at J&J, I support Ethicon’s Global Strategic Marketing department. My main project has been developing a process to evaluate and decompose the performance of our financial forecasting for new product launches, in order to gain insights for and improve future models. Because of the nature of medical device new-product development, capital investment and allocation decisions must be made years before the product reaches the market, so the accuracy of these early-stage financial models is critically important.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The program has been excellent at providing training and connecting me to others across the J&J organization, which is vast, but decentralized enough to stay nimble in a given sector. My greatest challenges have been learning the various acronyms and tracking down the right person to ask sometimes-stupid questions. As an NJ native, I am also eternally grateful for my 10-minute commute from within the suburbs, and the relative density of J&J offices in the area has made it easier to connect to MBA interns in other programs."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Hello everyone, I’m Anuj Jain, specializing in Supply Chain
Management, and interning at <a href="http://www.ferrerousa.com/" target="_blank">Ferrero</a>. Yes, I make sure that <a href="http://www.ferrerousa.com/products/tic-tac/fresh-entertainment" target="_blank">Tic Tacs</a>, <a href="http://www.ferrerousa.com/products/ferrero-chocolates/confections" target="_blank">Ferrero Chocolates</a> and <a href="http://www.ferrerousa.com/products/nutella/hazelnut-spread" target="_blank">Nutella</a> spreads are available when you go shopping. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am working in the supply chain department as a Supply
Chain Advisor/Analyst. It has been a great journey so far. The supply chain of
Ferrero is very complex as the products have a very short shelf life. The
products are imported from other countries, as we do not produce in US. The
biggest challenge is that the business is customer driven, which is a nightmare
for a Supply Chain. The forecasts are never accurate. So, even with a short
involvement of 3 weeks, I have seen numerous challenges faced by my department.
Since beginning my internship, I have been working on analytics based on
historical data available to us, and preparing tools that can help the Supply
Chain team to become more effective and accurate in their forecasting. Yesterday,
I participated in a daylong consensus meeting with the Marketing, Forecasting
and Sales teams. In this meeting all the departments decide on one final target
number for the upcoming months and it was a great learning experience for me.
The greatest one, by any means, so far. The agreements and disagreements between
the departments, the challenges and questions posed at each other, and the
agreement on a final number gave me an opportunity to understand the different
perspectives of Sales, Marketing and Supply Chain. I was super tired, but I was
really happy to have had such an opportunity. I was helping my manager with the
intelligence based out of historical data using the tools that I had prepared. The
most important lesson that I learned in this meeting is that communication is
the most essential factor for an efficient Supply Chain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I do not have any plans as such for the summer due to work
commitments, as the next 3 months are super super super busy at Ferrero. 75% of
our business of the year happens between September and December!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Okay, now I’ll leave everything aside and talk about the
serious stuff. Yes, we can eat as many chocolates as we want. So, if you don’t
recognize me in the fall when school re-opens, don’t blame me. I am the victim
here."</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">"This summer I’m interning at </span><a href="http://www.dell.com/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Dell</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> in Austin, Texas. I’m working with the team that handles planning and strategy for global operations aptly titled ‘Global Ops. Planning & Strategy’. The first week was a boot camp of sorts followed by 2 weeks of shadowing different members of my team to learn the data, lingo and culture. I’m in the 3</span><sup style="font-family: inherit;">rd</sup><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> week now and have spent most of my week interviewing different stakeholders invested in my project to make sure that I’m approaching my task from many different angles and synthesizing all that information to discover where the areas of opportunity are. The learning curve is steep because we deal with dynamic data and a lot of variables, however I’m taking it one day at a time and asking a lot of questions. Outside of my team and project, the networking has been great and that’s one of the things I really like about Dell. Anyone is willing to sit for 30 minutes and talk to an intern and if you’re from a foreign country, there’s bound to be someone –or in my case like 25- here from your home country.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">I live a 10-minute walk away from my office in round rock and the weather has been pretty nice so I’ve been walking to and from work. It’s quite sub-urban, which can mean long trips to the downtown area in search of fun and frivolity on the weekends. In terms of major summer plans, besides seeing as many musicians as I possibly can, I’d really like to drive up to San Antonio and explore for a day. I’m keeping my plans flexible though because the best plans tend to come together when you’re not fixated on them." </span><br />

I’m relatively new here, but they have me working on a couple things while I
get familiar with their reporting processes and systems.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">One project I’m currently working on is
analyzing our competitors, or benchmarking, to not only determine how well we

create a budget for 2016.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Another
project they currently having me work on is trying to determine how much we
should plan to spend on 401K expenses by month for next year based on 2014 and
2015 data.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">These projects are very

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">"This summer I’m doing the 10-week MBA marketing internship program at </span><a href="http://www.bms.com/pages/default.aspx" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Bristol-Myers Squibb</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> in Princeton, NJ. Currently, BMS has a robust pipeline in the area of </span><a href="http://investors.bms.com/files/asco_io_pathways/i-o-interactivev10.html" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">immuno-oncology</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">, which uses drugs that work with your body’s own immune system to help fight cancer. Not only is BMS a leader in this space, but these new advances in immunotherapy are truly revolutionizing the way cancer is treated, which is one reason why BMS is a very exciting place to be. Another reason is a recent company-wide initiative to put the patient at the center of everything they do. If you’ve ever taken Branning’s US Healthcare class, you would truly appreciate this. Especially for patients fighting cancer, you can imagine how much of an impact a comprehensive patient support program could have, given the severity of condition, complexity of treatment and the emotionally tolling nature of the experience. BMS wants to be there for the patient every step of the way and that’s why I’m spending my summer working with the digital marketing team to develop a patient CRM* platform for the immuno-oncology franchise. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">BMS functions as a matrix organization, so one of the biggest challenges of this project is gaining alignment on the concept of the program with seemingly disparate groups who have varying interests when you don’t have any formal power. One employee likened it to herding cats. Not to mention project managing several internal groups and external vendors to actually execute the program. I’m seriously learning a ton and so far, I have fallen in love with marketing because there are just so many roles you can have, from digital to analytics to product management. Marketing is certainly for big-picture people who can juggle many things (including personalities)!"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>"</i>This summer I am working about 10 minutes from Rutgers Business School in West Orange, NJ at <a href="http://www.groupeseb.com/en-en" target="_blank">Groupe SEB USA</a>, a large French consortium that manufactures and sells assorted housewares items. My summer internship is a continuation of a Co-op program that I started in January of this year. I am officially working as a Commercial Marketing Intern, but my responsibilities span both retail and commercial marketing. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Interning at Groupe SEB gives me the chance to work with great brands in the housewares industry such as T-Fal cookware and small appliances, Rowenta haircare, Krups coffee makers and accessories, and All-Clad premium cookware, amongst others. Specifically, working on the <a href="http://www.t-falusa.com/Homepage.htm" target="_blank">T-Fal Cookware</a> team has given me the opportunity to oversee various projects including ones focused on new product development, development of go-to-market strategies, channel management, data analytics, and retail sales strategies. As part of my responsibilities, I interface with many cross-functional employees, including finance, logistics, sales, innovation teams, and manufacturing teams in order to successfully achieve my project’s deliverables. By working closely with my manager and by having access to senior level management, my learning process has been accelerated and I feel like I am developing as a marketer every day I spend at Groupe SEB. </span></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall, working at Groupe SEB during the Spring semester and continuing that work into the Summer has been a great experience. Over the next few months, I look forward to contributing even more as a Commercial Marketing Intern and further developing my skills as a marketer."</span></div>

I am a Management Associate intern with the Marketing Leadership Rotation Program. I am simultaneously working on four different projects for the VP of Customer Insights & Analytics, which sounds like FOUR much, but the team I work for has been extremely helpful. Two of my projects are on brand transformation, another one is digital in nature, and the last one is on tableau. So far I have been interacting cross-functionally with several different teams and am hoping to get a pretty well-rounded experience from all these projects. Currently at the end of my third week now and loving it so far!</span></div>

For my main project this summer, I am working on the brand <a href="https://www.humira.com/" target="_blank">Humira</a> and analyzing raw, qualitative research data in order to gain a deep understanding of the patient experience for a specific Rheumatoid Arthritis patient segment. I'm hoping to develop some key strategic insights about this patient segment in order to provide input for future business planning. I'm very happy about my assignment as it allows me to utilize my social sciences background as well as apply concepts I've learned in business school this past year. I'm just finishing up my 2nd week and I really enjoy working with my manager and team. This is my first time working in corporate America and the pharmaceutical industry so I feel like I've learned SO MUCH in just these first couple weeks. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm staying in a hotel about a 5 min drive from the AbbVie campus. It's not the most exciting area so I plan on spending most of my weekends in Chicago.

27 Rutgers MBA students answered the call of Doing Business
in Russia, an elective class that includes academic study of the Russian
socioeconomic climate, as well as a 10-day trip to Moscow and St.
Petersburg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was one of the 5 full-time
RBS students who attended, along with 22 flex students and 3 faculty
members.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Professors <a href="http://www.business.rutgers.edu/faculty-research/directory/robinson-jeffrey" target="_blank">Jeff Robinson</a> and
<a href="http://www.business.rutgers.edu/faculty-research/directory/alex-settles" target="_blank">Alex Settles</a>, who teach Entrepreneurship, Corporate Social Responsibility, and
International Business at Rutgers, designed the trip’s itinerary, which included
city tours, cultural attractions, and visits to businesses and startup
incubators in Russia’s two most prominent cities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We flew in to Moscow on March 12<sup>th</sup>,
and returned from St. Petersburg on March 22<sup>nd</sup>, 2015.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We spent our first days becoming acquainted with the
historical and cultural sights in Moscow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We toured the Kremlin, Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral and other
landmarks, ate in restaurants suitable for royalty such as Turandot and Café
Pushkin, and saw a ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moscow is a magnificent city that also has a
night life to rival or surpass that of any major city in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A night with more than 3 hours sleep was a
rare occurrence on this trip.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of immediate note was the importance of reading and speaking
Russian.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>English is not widely spoken in
this city, and nearly all of the signs are written in Cyrillic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Basic commerce is possible through hand
gestures and a smile, though Muscovite retailers are less motivated than their
American counterparts to engage with customers, particularly foreigners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a few days of sightseeing, we visited the Higher
School of Economics and listened to speakers from the Russian business world
articulate their experiences doing business in Russia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also toured Startup October, an incubator
connecting financiers with startup entrepreneurs, and learned about Moscow’s growing
entrepreneurial culture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally, we
visited an industrial park which housed Oriflame, a Swedish cosmetics firm, as
well as other tenants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The industrial
park generated its own power as opposed to connecting to the local power grid,
which can be a prohibitively difficult task in Russia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was sad that Oriflame did not offer Swedish
meatballs in their cafeteria.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
An overnight train brought us to St. Petersburg on the 19<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>St. Petersburg is the same latitude as
Alaska, and has few sunny days throughout the year, though we were lucky enough
to enjoy unseasonably warm weather.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We heard from consulate and state department
officials who provided insider knowledge into how to protect our data and
identity, as well as the secret, non-touristy spots to visit in St.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Petersburg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We also spoke at length with
business leaders such as the CEO of Subway in Russia, and a software developer
for Oracle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At night, we saw the Jenufa opera
at the fabulous Mariinsky theatre.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m
glad I packed my tuxedo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our last day in Russia did not disappoint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We took a tour of the Hermitage, a palace
converted into one of the largest museums of art in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We saw original artwork by all of the
masters, and took hundreds of pictures of paintings and sculptures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No amount of time seems sufficient to soak in
all of the art at the Hermitage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
lunch, we followed the state department employee’s advice and found a secret
Indian restaurant in the heart of St. Petersburg modeled after a
prohibition-era speakeasy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The entrance
was located behind a secret passage in a bookstore, and inside they served
cocktails made up of their own special blends of alcohol.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was the best meal I ate in Russia, even
though Beef Stroganoff was not involved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is truly hard to capture in words how rewarding this trip
was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We explored two of the greatest
cities in one of the largest and most misunderstood nations in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also experienced Russian academic and
business culture, and learned about the similarities and differences which make
Russia an intriguing but challenging place to do business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope to go back again soon.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Prudential Center, where the New Jersey Devils play, is
just a 15 minute walk or 5 minute light rail ride from 1 Washington Park. Last
night, the <a href="http://www.business.rutgers.edu/mba/student-organizations/sga" target="_blank">MBA Student Government Association (SGA)</a> secured tickets to see the
NJ Devils play against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Over 30 Rutgers MBA students
took over Section 1 of the arena. Despite allowing two relatively early goals,
the Devils played a strong last period and came close to tying the game. The
game finished in a 2 – 3 loss, but everyone still enjoyed the night. Thank you

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>This
semester two students from the Class of 2016 formed a new club at Rutgers
Business School: The Management Consulting Club. The founding Co-Presidents,
Rupa Banerjee and Pam Soffer, recently took the time to answer some questions

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
Vision of MCC is to enhance the MBA experience of students by helping them
understand, appreciate and solve real business problems. The MCC will bring
several avenues to expose students to the world of consulting, thereby giving
an opportunity to evaluate consulting against their sense of fit.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.65pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firms
all around the world are looking for problem solvers. We wanted to help
students become better problem solvers by bringing to them several avenues to
work on time bound business situations that have strong financial
implications. This would prepare students for case interviews and case
competitions and would give them significant competitive advantage over other
graduate students.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In February we held a Kickoff Meeting where we shared our ideas
about the club with students and faculty. We also got feedback from many
students and club members about what they want to get from MCC. On March 25<sup>th</sup>
we are holding a joint event with the <a href="http://pharmaclub.rutgers.edu/" target="_blank">Pharmaceutical Management Club </a>on case
preparation. <a href="http://www.gartner.com/technology/home.jsp" target="_blank">Gartner Consulting</a> will visit RBS on April 9<sup>th</sup> to speak
about consulting sectors and popular language. Finally, the Rutgers <a href="http://www.deloitte.com/consulting" target="_blank">Deloitte</a>

<br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 0.25in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt;">When I was given a
chance to compose my own words about my internship experience, the first
thought which came across my mind is how I can add value to future Rutgers MBA
graduates via this write-up. I was sure that writing about my experience with a
non-profit association would really make them to take notice. This summer, I
was lucky enough to work with American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA)
headquarters located in the Washington D.C metro area. This internship<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>was the most satisfying experience I
have had thus far. I got my internship through the Simplicity OCM and I am still
continuing as a co-op with AAPA.</span></div>

<b><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt;">The Set-up<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
The disadvantage of most non-profit associations is that they don’t have enough
funds to hire all the employees they need; resulting in heavy workload for the
small number of available employees. This is where eager and intelligent
interns come in play. I want to also point it out there that most non-profit
are willing to pay a decent amount for their interns; because they recognize
the talent we bring in. Moreover, when we are given a chance to make a positive
contribution to the society by working for a non-profit entity, the amount of
gratification which we get when we succeed will be enormous.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 0.25in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt;">Roles and

<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 0.25in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt;">There are not many
people who work on strengthening supply chain and business processes in non-profit
organizations. This allows for more hands-on opportunities for interns. I
started my role by interviewing staff about business processes, reviewing
contracts and also assessing on going procurements. I had the opportunity to
attend FDA hearings on Capitol Hill, present to members in board meetings,
organize and present to whole staff, speak with corporate donors and
collaborate on numerous vendor projects.</span></div>

<b><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt;">Relevance and Social
Connections</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
Non-profits usually have a team of board members who are involved in everyday
activities. Hence, they have better relations with the staff. I was invited to
a three day long board meeting which proved to be a great way for me to expand
my network and make important connections. I also got the opportunity to learn
how whole year of work is put in to have a successful annual conference. </span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 0.25in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt;">Rewards</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
The vital characteristic of interning with a non-profit healthcare association is
the rewarding feeling of truly making a difference. This helped me to contribute
and experience the magic that motivates the staff. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had the opportunity to help coordinate
smooth transition of ERP and I learnt the processes of logistics arrangements
which are done behind the scenes. Also, I had the chance to work directly with
CEO and especially felt honored when I was asked to be a part of her meetings
with outside consultants. In short, AAPA gave me my first break in healthcare
industry, non-profit world and supply chain management.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt;">The Way Forward for Freshers</span></b></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 0.25in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt;">Many freshers are not
aware of the benefits of interning with a nonprofit association and how much
they appreciate your work for them. In return, you can also expand your skill
set and develop critical relations with other professionals. So if you looking
for a fast learning environment during your internship, consider any one of big
non-profit organizations to gain valuable experience in learning how to survive
among vagueness and how to add value to the society via your work. I hope I was
able to clear some of the doubts through this small write-up.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 0.25in; vertical-align: baseline;">

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">How to Make the Most
of Your Summer Internship</span></b><br />
By: Chris Lettini</div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Home Depot’s new
slogan “Let’s Do This” is how you should approach your summer internship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I came into my summer internship within
global procurement at Pfizer with a positive, can-do, roll-up-my sleeves
attitude.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This attitude went a long way in
completing my projects on time, but most importantly, fitting in with those
around me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of your summer
internship opportunities are meant to see if you’re a fit for the company and
that the company is a fit for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
can best figure this out by immersing yourself completely in the company
culture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pfizer did a great job of
making sure we were completely immersed by having team-building activities, an
MBA case competition, a volunteer day, as well as MBA networking events and
brown bag sessions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, if your
company does not offer formal events, you should make sure to learn the culture
to the best of your ability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m not going to tell you to work hard on your projects and
show a strong work ethic, that should be a given for any MBA’er.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I want to impart on you are the “other skills”
that will help you get recognized during your summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You need to separate yourself from other
colleagues as your internship is really a three month job interview.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many ways to do so and Dean Vera
gave some great advice prior to my summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Listening to his advice was a great way to not only make sure I enjoyed
my summer experience but also received a full-time job offer upon internship
completion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Connect with those both in your business unit and
outside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best way to learn about the
company and different roles is through informational interviews with
colleagues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I put this very high on my
internship responsibilities list, alongside my projects, and spent about 20% of
my summer internship speaking with colleagues and learning the company culture
and strategy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found that not only did
they enjoy the discussions, but it enabled connections that helped me complete
my summer assignments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you mention
what you are working on, oftentimes colleagues will connect you to someone who
has either completed a similar project or can lead you in the right direction. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus, if you come across as smart and driven,
recommendations will spread through word of mouth should your name come up for
an opportunity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus, when it comes time
for your end of summer presentation, you don’t want those in the audience to be
meeting you for the first time and say “Who is this person?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve never met them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They never took the time to get to know me.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You want them to be your allies and the only
way they can possibly be is if you have taken time to get to know them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
I cannot emphasize enough how much connecting with other colleagues
will benefit your summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, be sure
to write friendly follow-up emails after your conversation thanking your
colleague for their time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your
colleagues are very busy and go out of their way to sit down with you, don’t
abuse this privilege.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you think the
conversation went well, it also wouldn’t hurt to connect with them on
Linkedin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This helps your colleague put a
face with a name and they can also view what you’ve accomplished throughout
your career.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
You should also make sure to connect with RBS alums within
your company for the same reasons stated above.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They can be great allies and help both on questions regarding your
project and facilitating connections within the company.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember, they’ve been there and also had help
along the way and you’ll be surprised how much they want to help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Connecting with people and being a friendly colleague goes a
long way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You must genuinely want to
meet people and learn about their career and the company.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are not genuine, it will show, and
perhaps that company or industry isn’t the right fit for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your connections must also be a two way
street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If there is something that
interests you and you think it could help your colleague, share it with
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Making your colleagues life easier
goes a long way toward making a meaningful connection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The next piece of advice I’d like to give regarding
immersing yourself in the culture is to volunteer or organize events, join a
sports team or intercompany clubs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Get
out and meet people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most companies <!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype

You won’t be given direction through every step of your

your time with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do your due

</span>Research thoroughly and ask questions of others at your level, before
you go back and ask for help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take
initiative and lead your project from start to finish with minimal
handholding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will go a long way to

One of the best pieces of career advice I was given this
past summer was from a VP in Procurement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He said throughout my career to be “positive, polite, persistent, and
productive.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Doing so will result in a
fulfilling, successful career. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I agree
with this attitude wholeheartedly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
cannot just have one or two of these characteristics, you must seek all
four.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being positive and polite will
only go so far and you need to remember that this is an extensive job interview
and you need to produce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be persistent without being annoying and you
will be productive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
My final piece of advice is to pay it forward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was given so much great advice from the RBS
Class of 2014 during my internship search and I sincerely appreciate it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to write this blog to begin paying it
forward and help members of the Class of 2016 secure your dream job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I can be of any additional help along the
way, please contact me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

chose Supply Chain Management as my primary specialization, I had to decide on
my career path for the next 2 years, 5 years and 10 years. This goal needed to
be very clear in my mind, my elevator speech and during my interviews. A good
amalgam of improving skill set, perseverance to fare better each time, and
passion for science and technology, brought me an offer from a
Biopharmaceutical company. </span></div>

word, Novartis found me. I received an offer within 24 hours of solving a case
and after surviving an earnest scrutiny by a panel of three interviewers. The
role was to be an integral and active part of the Brand Team. It was immensely
excited to work for the General Medicines unit of Novartis on a product named
TOBI Podhaler. Even more gratifying was the role that gave me opportunities to
contribute in a small but significant way to the betterment of lives affected
by Cystic Fibrosis. Soon I began learning more about Marketing as well, to gain
the best out of my three month summer internship. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Director, Michael and Associate Director, Katherine trusted me with a lot of
responsibility. During my time, I directly worked on five different projects
and with 12 different agency partners. My background in science and technology
and experience in research helped me identify the scientific and technical
nuances vital to improve internal processes. I supported the Brand Team by
framing strategies to increase ROI through spend and budget analysis and
inventory management, managing and reducing risk by working with Legal,
Regulatory and Compliance on crucial projects, and achieving consistency in
Brand promotion by designing and promoting educational materials for physicians
and patient use. The Team wanted “new eyes” to obtain a fresh perspective on
the ongoing work and were glad to have recruited me. </span></div>

worked? Inherent curiosity to learn more, critical thinking abilities,
achieving goals within specified deadlines and posing structured questions at
the right time . This is the positive feedback that I received at the end of my
final presentation at the cross-functional team meeting. I opine that these
qualities also helped me to easily build my network with various teams, units
and agency partners working for Novartis. </span></span></div>

the work, I did find time to enjoy Lunch & Learns organized by the company
for all the summer interns. It was vital for each one of us to learn about drug
development, drug product naming and also network well with senior
professionals. The visit to Novartis’ Manufacturing site was educative too. We
interacted with scientific, technical and management functions at the site. I
have had the pleasure of knowing some talented individuals from different
universities at these events. Together we enjoyed on and off campus meals,
coffees, and short walks on the green vast Novartis space. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

my Summer Internship at Novartis has been an enriching experience. Without an

my career. My ultimate goal is to work in Strategic Sourcing for a
Biopharmaceutical company or to work as a Strategic Consultant for a Consulting
firm. This semester, I am more confident and will strive further to make this
goal achievable.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
