Week Three of our orientation program was filled with activities designed to support Fellows to get to know BU and Boston better and to prepare for the year ahead.<\/p>\n

We are deeply grateful to the deans of the Questrom School of Business, the Pardee School of Global Studies, the School of Education, the School of Communication, and Metropolitan College, Cornelius Hurley and Kevin Gallagher of the Center for Finance Law & Policy, and McCaela Donovan of the College of Fine Arts, all of whom helped the Fellows to navigate the myriad opportunities available to them across BU’s Charles River Campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Week Three, we focused intensively on Fellows’ Individual Program Plans (IPP) and fall course schedules. In addition, we held four successive, interactive workshops\u2014one on refining the “elevator pitch” led by Bank of America Senior Vice President (and BU alumnus) Al Petras, another on strategic communication led by Organizational Behavior Lecturer Jennifer Mandolese, a third session on sharing cross-cultural impressions of BU and Boston led by HHHP Assistant Director Cyrus Konstantinakos, and a workshop on intercultural communication led by School of Education Professor Bruce Rindler.<\/p>\n
