J-Crew Dazzles at Holidazzle
NJ-ers celebrated Holidazzle in style Friday night. New rituals were born with napkin-waving renditions of our new fight song, and moments of fame and infamy were had and enjoyed.

Do We Learn What Makes Leaders at HBS?

Gaining Experience through a Social Enterprise Summer
So maybe I shouldn’t have acted so excited when BCG called to ask me if I could defer my start date until October, but I was thrilled to have the opportunity to spend a summer working for a nonprofit before starting my full time job.

Poetry Corner – My Rival
I go to concert, party, ball – What profit is in these?I sit alone against the wall And try to look at ease.The incense that is mine by right They burn before Her shrine;And that’s because I’m seventeen And she is forty-nine. I cannot check my girlish blush, My color comes and goes;I redden to… Continue reading Poetry Corner – My Rival

The Intraview's Post Game Interview
Me ‘n’ Her AuntieGoldie: OK, this is more of a comment than a question. I would just like to say that there is nothing wrong with using various electronic means to research potential/current/ex-significant others.
