The Best MBA Clubs in Boston
D’Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University
D’Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern Is home to a fascinating collection of clubs that investigate a wide swath of business world concerns, including entrepreneurship, investment, marketing, and “net impact.” These two organizations are a must for Northeastern MBAs:
The 360 Huntington Fund is a student management investment fund that invests monies donated to the Northeastern University endowment. The Fund provides an opportunity to experience practical issues related to portfolio management, security selection, and money management.
The Supply Chain Management Club (SCM) assists current students interested in logistics and supply chain management. The NUSCO sponsors presentations by professionals in logistics and supply chain management and field trips to facilities at such area companies as UPS, Massport, Wal-Mart and Bose. SCM is open to all interested students.
Simmons School of Management
Simmons School of Management’s many clubs create a tight-knit community that extends past the Ivory Tower walls, well into MBA students professional lives. Here are two Simmons clubs that can do no wrong:
The Collegiate Entrepreneur Organization (CEO) aims to educate and enhance the lives of budding entrepreneurs through workshops, outreach events, speaker series, networking events, and mini ventures.
The Management Liaison facilitates a relationship among management students and the faculty that give rise to opportunities for students to develop skills valued in the workforce and provide a place where students with a common interest can interact and participate in events.
MIT Sloan School of Management
MIT Sloan School of Management is one of the most forward-thinking MBA programs in the world. So, the staggering assortment of clubs made available to Sloan MBAs should come as no surprise: entertainment/media, entrepreneurship, finance, management consulting, marketing, net impact, operations management, tech club, venture capital, and quantitative finance. Here are two clubs that incoming Sloan MBAs would be advised to investigate upon arrival:
The Sloan Coders Club provides an accessible forum for MIT Sloan students and the broader MIT community to learn the basics of programming, and start building apps, websites, and services; engage in activities to build knowledge, such as hack-a-thons and hosted talks; and better understand issues of software architecture, promoting better informed business leaders interested in the technology space.
Sloan Women in Management works to increase opportunities for all women at MIT Sloan through networking events, speaker series, professional development workshops, and mentorship programs. This past February’s Breaking the Mold Initiative aimed at creating a safe space for open dialogue about unconscious biases, with the expressed purpose of helping participants develop approaches to managing these biases in the classroom, workplace and board room.
