Completion of Week 7

It is incredibly hard to believe that my classmates and I have finished our 7th week in the Masters of Science and Business Analysis program (I only know it is the 7th week because one of my teachers announced it in class, it's hard to keep track!).  

Time is flying by! 

This week was by far the toughest/ most stressful/ most exciting week for me.   

We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to attend the Chamber of Commerce for the event "The Future of Data-

Driven Innovation" where three different panels of experts discussed "big data" and how it will help advance their companies.  We heard from:

Leslie Bradshaw, managing partner of the NY office of Made by Many.

Roger Gordon, President of Food Cowboy.

Frank Stein, Director of IBM's Analytics Solutions Center.

Macduff Hughes, Engineering Director of Google Translate.

We also heard from many more interesting, data-driven people. It was such a great experience and we all looked so professional in our business attire. 

The NY committee has been hard at work this week figuring out the best options for our trip next month.  It's definitely a challenge preparing a trip for 28 people, but we get to go to New York and meet with various companies that we could possible work at in the future!! 

I began my internship this week.  I am working with Acton Institute on a promotional marketing project for the Religious and Economic Freedom Conference Series.  Another great opportunity that was made available to me through the MSBA program at Catholic University. 

And as all of these awesome things are going on, we can't forget that we're full time students!

So, this week was pretty tough, but wow, do I feel accomplished for successfully making it to Friday!

The MSBA program is helping me bridge the gap between " college student" and "working adult," which has made me more confident and prepared for my future.  

Now it's time to get prepared for week 8!
