In his talk, he gave a real flavor for his day-to-day activities as CEO and President, and described the challenges of running both Papaya King and, earlier, an organic farm. Here are a few of the highlights of what he presented: Trisha Meili First SIG speaker sponsored by the SOMAA On September 30th, Trisha Meili ’86 returned to SOM as the first SIG speaker sponsored by the SOM Alumni Association. Women in Management and Double Bottom Line invited Trisha to share her experiences – her recovery from the attack in Central Park a decade ago, and as an active member of a number of nonprofit organizations. Trisha shared her inspirational message with close to 100 students, alumni, faculty and staff. She read passages from her book and talked to the audience about the importance of support – of how it played a vital role in her recovery and how it can influence and inspire others during critical times in their lives. Women in Marketing Marketing Alumnae Return to SOM to Share their Experiences The Marketing and Women in Management SIGs, with the support of the SOM Alumni Association, hosted three SOM alumnae and one Yale College alumna in a "Women in Marketing" panel discussion on Thursday, November 13th. Jesse Johnson The Double Bottom Line SIG Presents The Double Bottom Line and Environment SIGs, co-sponsored by the Yale SOM Alumni Association, invited Jesse Johnson, SOM and FES ’01, to talk about how he started his environmentally friendly furniture company. Judy Samuelson Talk at the Double Bottom Line SIG On January 27th, 2004 Judy Samuelson ’82 visited SOM to talk to the Double Bottom Line SIG about: her work at the Aspen Institute, the current state of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at both corporations and in business school curriculums, the challenges ahead, and efforts needed to further CSR goals. Yale Cup Alumni Soccer Event One of the great traditions of the Yale Cup, the largest MBA Soccer Tournament, is the fielding of an SOM alumni team. This year, in spite of advancing age and increasing time spent in offices and at desks, the SOM alumni team upheld the SOM pride. They made it the finals. Unfortunately, they fell to Tuck 4-1. , this was the best showing of any SOM team in any Yale Cup in its fourteen year history. Thanks to the SOM Alumni Association for co-sponsoring this great event. |
