A not-so-virtual Access Weekend

October 31, 2020/0 Comments/in Day in the Life, MBA, Part-Time Flex MBA, Part-Time Online Hybrid MBA, Tepper Community /by Caroline Suni | Part-Time Online Hybrid MBA 2021

One of the best parts of Tepper’s Part-Time MBA program is our (dare I say famous?) Access Weekends! Having an “online” program that still brings everyone together every ~2 months for in-person instruction and socializing is really the competitive advantage of the Tepper program, and a common factor in choosing the program over other online options.

Though I’m not in the School of Drama, I’ve starred in a wide range of theater productions. My resume features roles in Hamlet and As You Like It, adaptations of childhood favorites like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and more. Casting directors have been begging me for years to star in the new Batman movie, but I’m so committed to my Carnegie Mellon education that I’ve turned them all down.

Recruiting while Working while Going to School

September 10, 2020/1 Comment/in Career & Internships, Part-Time Flex MBA, Part-Time Online Hybrid MBA /by Caroline Suni | Part-Time Online Hybrid MBA 2021

I often joke that I don’t know what “hobbies” are now that I’m in school part-time while working full time. Of course that’s not completely true, I’ll always find time to go hiking and to scope out the newest gelato store in San Diego where I currently live, but it’s true that there are less free hours in the day. Which is why, it’s daunting for many part-time students to think about setting aside any time or mental capacity for recruiting, when they are already balancing work and school (and keeping alive children or pets).

In 2020, finding an aspect of life that was not significantly affected is far more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack — with higher education and summer jobs no exception to this trend. As the pandemic forced countries to shut down, college students flocked home to live out their spring semesters and summers.

Transitioning to Online School

March 24, 2020/0 Comments/in Business, Undergraduate /by Jonny Wu | Undergraduate Business 2023

When I first heard the news that CMU was transitioning to online classes to prevent the spread of coronavirus, I wasn’t sure what to think. On the one hand, I was surprised and impressed by CMU’s ability to quickly adapt to a novel situation. Transforming every college class into its online counterpart is a monumental […]

Plan with Me – Constrained Optimization

March 14, 2020/1 Comment/in Carnegie Mellon /by Madeline Kim | Professional Writing and Undergraduate Business 2021

My father, an economist, loves to remind me about constrained optimization. His semantics may resonate more with a niche population. But the idea behind it isn’t: do your best given your circumstances. Needless to say, our current circumstances are… less than optimal. We all want a light at the end of the tunnel. Answers.

We live in a guideline-driven world. It makes sense. We’re constrained by our information processing capabilities, our time, and our energy. Tools like hard-and-fast rules help us make decisions efficiently. They give us a sense of structure in an otherwise unmanageable sea of chaos. They exist for a good-enough reason: they highlight a general trend […]

For a final project for a class, I was instructed to give a ~ 5-minute inspirational speech for upcoming freshmen. I reflected upon this incident from elementary school and how the meaning hit me almost a decade later. After giving that presentation, I felt inspired to turn it into a webcomic.

Coming Out Stories, a Celebration of LGBT Journeys at Tepper

October 11, 2018/1 Comment/in Diversity & Inclusion, Full-Time MBA, MBA Student Clubs, Tepper Community /by Rebecca George | MBA 2019

These more serious topics are celebrated by Tepper MBAs in a yearly event called Coming Out Stories.

Contrary to my own expectations heading into my freshman year at CMU, I did not spend my first few days wandering around […]
