In our second session, the Fellows practiced again and gave feedback to one another in an exercise modeled on “speed dating.” We then regrouped for debriefing and discussion.
The Fellows will have many opportunities to use their refined elevator pitches throughout the year—their first of which will take place on Wednesday, September 21st, at the Dean’s Welcome Reception hosted by the Questrom School of Business.
