Schmoozing in Seattle

The Seattle Mixer brought together alums, current students, and admits at Lisa Harris' ('78) art gallery, a view loft in the historic Pike Place Market.

Including Class of 2012 Interns: Dinesh Coca, Amazon; Yin-Chin Chang, Amazon; Brien Downie, Microsoft; Mariana Does Santos Ferreira, T-Mobile USA; Anna Glover, Amazon; Jesus Martinez, Taiyo Pacific Partners; William Morris, Amazon; Jason Wang, Microsoft.

MBA interns were able to connect with Seattle alums and reconnect with two of their career advisors: Regina Regazzi '97, Executive Director of Corporate Relations, and Phil Han, Director of Recruiting Operations.

Much thanks to incoming Seattle Alumni Chapter President Claude Brun '05, Senior Strategy Manager of Global Research & Development for the Startup Business Group at Microsoft. His MBA intern buddy this summer is:

JASON WANG '12

Undergrad: University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School

Pre-B-School: Associate, Family Equity Partners

School Leadership: HTBA, VP External Relations; Parker Career Series Assistant

Title: Office Platform Product Manager for the Microsoft Office Divsion

Project: Developing the strategy and helping to launch the platform for the next version of Microsoft Office.

Best part of interning at Microsoft: It's very exciting working on a product that impacts everyone you meet and has the power to impact so many lives.

Perk of having an Anderson mentor: Claude has helped me understand the Microsoft culture and how my role fits into the overall organization. Thanks to his guidance, I've been able to integrate into Microsoft much more smoothly.

Benefit of the mixer: I was quickly introduced to a whole community of friends in Seattle, a city that I am completely new to. It's great to know that I can reach out to all these experienced alums, who work at all the top firms in Seattle, for career guidance and even simple advice like where to live.

Two more upcoming events for the Seattle alumni chapter:

August 18 for an end-of-internship event.
September for Welcome Week at the Newcastle Golf Club for the recent grads joining the regional chapter.
