Introducing the EWMBAA Community Service Committee
As we watch the events unfold in the Gulf coast region this week, we are reminded of the inspiring stories following Katrina: such as the many volunteers from the Bay Area trekking to New Orleans several times a year to help restore St. Bernard Parish. While the Hurricane victims have grabbed our attention, we shouldn't lose sight of the needs in our local communities, from families of seriously ill children to local food banks. Giving back to the community is an important part of the Haas culture. This is where the Community Service Committee comes in.
Meet Our Dedicated Team: Our dedicated members include Abha Bhagat, Josh Lauman, Paigie Light, Monika Matthews, Steve Park, Uday Putcha, and Rossanna Aranibar Schach; co-chairs are Jennifer Elliott and Ken So. But we don't stop here; we continue to look for members to actively participate in organizing events and reaching out to communities and non-profit organizations.
For those who have missed our past events, our team pulled off many successful events this past summer:
* Joining forces with the Social Committee, Steve Park led a group of Haas runners navigate through the retreating French soldiers and naked runners at the Bay-to-Breakers event.
* Abha and Anlei showed off their sales talents (not an easy task selling to MBA students) and ran a successful raffle at Haas EYOP to help China earthquake victims.
* Josh Lauman and inspiring Haas homebuilders flex their muscles to help build low-income homes at the Habitat for Humanities (see Josh's article below).
Don't Miss Out: We have many great events coming up this Fall. Despite the heavy first year course load, we especially encourage the first year students to come out as it is always a great opportunity to meet students in upper years. We are finalizing the event schedule; it will be sent out shortly.
A Reminder of the Haas Community Fellows Program: Any EWMBA student who completes 50 total hours of community service over their three years of education at Haas will qualify. The program poses no limit to the number of fellows who qualify. All Haas Community Fellows will be recognized during their graduation ceremony as their names will be highlighted in the commencement program. To be included, you will need to submit a volunteer hours log sheet by April 15th of the graduating year. Please contact Jennifer Elliott (jenn_elliott@mba.berkeley.edu) or Ken So (kenneth_so@mba.berkeley.edu) for more details.
Habitat for Humanity = Fun Times
Our annual Habitat for Humanity event was a great success and a good
time was had by all. Haas students partnered with Greater San
Francisco Habitat for Humanity to help build low income housing in
Redwood City. We spent a beautiful, sunny, although a little hot, afternoon nailing shingles, hanging drywall and honing our construction skills. And if you wanted to come but weren't able to make it don't worry we plan on having another Habitat for Humanity event around the same time next year. For more information on the Habitat for Humanity visit their website at http://www.habitatgsf.org/

Get Involved in Clubs@Haas
Welcome (back) to Haas! As the year begins, we wanted to reach out and provide some information around the logistics of and benefits surrounding membership in the full-time MBA Association (MBAA). Why would you do this? Because, to become a member of a student club, you need to first be a member of the full-time MBAA as all student clubs exist under the MBAA.
MBAA Membership Benefits: In addition to being eligible to join clubs, you are also entitled to attend all MBAA-sponsored social and networking events, like monthly consumption functions, where you can meet and mingle with both current students and alumni (For more information:
http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/MBA/student/fmbaa-benefits.html)
How to join: The fee to become a member of the MBAA is $50/year. Please make a check payable to MBAA for the number of years you have remaining in your program and deliver that check to the EWMBA office.
Questions: Please email Rachel Wolan (rachel_wolan@mba.berkeley.edu) with any questions.

Starting this month, the Career Services committee is organizing a series of events to highlight leading consulting firms. Each event will feature a Berkeley Alum from the featured firm who will provide an insider’s view of consulting in general and the firm in particular. Think of this as a mini firm-night with all of the information and none of the pressure. We are delighted to kick-off this series of events with Arif Janjua, Partner, Boston Consulting Group, San Francisco.
In order to maximize the return for all attendees, we encourage only those individuals to attend who are committed to consulting and who have used the resources available on CareerNet to obtain a reasonable understanding of this career path.

EWMBA eZine - Week of August 28, 2008
Who Are You and Why Are You Sending Me Email?
Greetings from the Communications Committee
Let's introduce our committee - Our awesome members are Sriram Kumar and Christina Stewart, and our Co-Chairs are Ben Chong and Anlei Lee.
For the last year, we've been keeping students in the Evening-Weekend MBA program (EWs) informed through a number of channels:
1. EWMBA eZine - A weekly newsletter that is emailed to all EW students sharing news, announcements, happy hours, and more. You might ask how this differs from the MBA Alert - well, our newsletter caters specifically to the EW crowd whereas the MBA Alert is ublished by the full-time MBA folks. We also have a no-duplication policy which means if it's in the MBA alert, it isn't printed in our newsletter.2. Cohort Representatives - First year representatives updating each cohort on eZine news and first year specific items. These folks help first years wade through all of the information overload and point out what's really important. They also help make sure that event organizers take into account the unique academic schedules of the first year students.3. Haas EWMBAA Blog - A blog that shares what's going on in each EWMBAA committee.4. Coming Soon: Discussion Forum (more info in upcoming eZines)
Thanks Mimi and Alison for all of your hard work last year. We look forward to bringing you exciting information in the weeks ahead.
First Years: We're looking for new Communications Committee members. If you're committed to keeping people informed, please email Ben Chong (benchong@mba.berkeley.edu) or Anlei Lee (anlei_lee@mba.berkeley.edu).

EWMBA eZine - Week of August 14, 2008
Welcome Back to School!
Over summer, our various committees have kept us all busy with social events (Happy hours, Family days), Dinner-for-8 with Alumni, Orientation (what a phenomenal new group of students!), building a home for Habitat for Humanity and this eZine. They have also continued to plot and plan for more adventures this Fall Semester, such as more alumni dinners, career talks, socials etc. (Check our upcoming eZines for more details.)
We welcome our new Dean, Rich Lyons, back from Goldman Sachs to the Haas School of Business. To learn more about him and his plans, visit http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/haas/dean/. We’re also trying to arrange a Townhall meeting, so he can meet us all in person.
We also extend a warm Californian welcome our new EWMBA Executive Program Director, Dave Gent (dgent -at- haas.berkeley.edu) – who has spent much of his career at Kellogg. Jen Sang will continue to be our Director for Academic Affairs and will also be working on best practices across Haas as Director of Cross-Program Initiatives. We shall miss the indefatigable Beth Hoch from Admissions, as she moves on to start her Masters in Education at Harvard. We wish them all the very best!!
Many thanks to our wonderful committees who have been making our EWMBA experience a special one. If you’ve got ideas and are feeling inspired, we’re looking for committee members to replace those who have graduated. Please refer to our website at http://www.haasewmbaa.com/ for more details.
Looking forward to your stories - see you in class!

EWMBA eZine - Week of July 17, 2008
Enrich your MBA with an experience in housing construction!
Seriously, come join us in serving the community. The EWMBA program is partnering with Peninsula Habitat for Humanity to help provide affordable housing for low income families in the bay area.
We will be working on a construction project in Redwood City, but no special skills are needed. It promises to be a fun filled day and a wonderful opportunity to get to know some of your classmates better.
Enjoy your summer and I look forward to seeing you on August 9th!
If you have any questions or concerns please email me at josh_lauman@mba.berkeley.edu and for more information on Peninsula Habitat for Humanity visit their website at www.peninsulahabitat.org
What : Haas Habitat for Humanity Day
When: August 9, 2008 8:30 AM - 4:30PM
Where: 122 Lincoln Ave. Redwood City, CA 94061-2323
- From the Community Services Committee
eZine publication information
The EWMBA eZine is a vehicle to help you publicize an event or cause you are organizing or any other announcement of interest to the EWMBA community.
The eZine is mailed out every Thursday. Due to various factors (jobs, MBA-spouse/kids, life, universe etc), we cannot guarantee a time at which we will mail out the eZine on Thursday.
Therefore, help us to help you by sending information early enough for inclusion in the eZine. For example, if you have an event early in the week, send us the event information by Wednesday of the previous week.
Most importantly, please don’t assume that everyone in the EWMBA check their berkeley.edu emails every 5 minutes. Believe it or not, some folks do not have home Internet access and/or check only once a week. Nothing wrong with that: we all live different lives. Therefore, last minute announcements are usually ineffective.
Enjoy the rest of summer,
The Communications Committee

If you have any questions or concerns please email me at josh_lauman@mba.berkeley.edu and for more information on Peninsula Habitat for Humanity visit their website at www.peninsulahabitat.org
What : Haas Habitat for Humanity Day

Where: 122 Lincoln Ave. Redwood City, CA 94061-2323

eZine publication information
The EWMBA eZine is a vehicle to help you publicize an event or cause you are organizing or any other announcement of interest to the EWMBA community.
The eZine is mailed out every Thursday. Due to various factors (jobs, MBA-spouse/kids, life, universe etc), we cannot guarantee a time at which we will mail out the eZine on Thursday.
Therefore, help us to help you by sending information early enough for inclusion in the eZine. For example, if you have an event early in the week, send us the event information by Wednesday of the previous week.
Most importantly, please don’t assume that everyone in the EWMBA check their berkeley.edu emails every 5 minutes. Believe it or not, some folks do not have home Internet access and/or check only once a week. Nothing wrong with that: we all live different lives. Therefore, last minute announcements are usually ineffective.
Enjoy the rest of summer,
The Communications Committee
