Class 2011 New Student Orientation Day 2













Today is the FUN day. Right after breakfast, the group migrated towards an open space to get a taste of their first Haas teamwork experience. Students were grouped into teams of 10. Each team was given less than one hour and very limited supply to come up with, in their collective mind, the most enduring and creative chateaus that would protect the five eggs assigned to them. The finished chateaus were then lined up in front of the crowd, to face fierce tennis ball air-fun attack, initiated by their classmates.

This was when all the superficial kindness quickly deteriorate, and everybody's true color came out. (my favorite part of the program)

After the very intense yet exciting team building exercise, the crowd was taken to the Haas campus for case study exercise and campus life panels. Sharianne did a great job leading the campus tour, while I managed the student club workshop. This year we had the following clubs and officers presenting their organization: EWMBAA (Jasmin Young), Consulting Club (Malik Kaman), Marketing Club (Chris Petersen), Finance Club (Max Chernikov), Real Estate Club (Sureentha Venigalla), Net Impact (Mike Lee), and General Management Club (Bhatha Muthiah).

At dinner time, the crowd went back to Double Tree for the peak of the day - the Dinner Festivity! The scene this year was "the 80's Rock". I was so well entertained by the superb creativity demonstrated at the party. Well, the pictures tell the story, more photos can be found on: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0AbOXDls4buGLoA&emid=sharshar&linkid=link3
