It is a pleasure to welcome my first guest blogger, Katy Moyer. Katy is getting her second degree here at Cornell. Although one of the youngest members of this AMBA class, she has proved to be such a leader that we elected her to be our representative on the Johnson School Student Council along with Pat Collopy. Since elected, Katy and Pat have brought many of AMBA-specific concerns to the attentions of the Dean and other leaders of the Johnson School. After the fall semester started, they organized several social and career events to help the AMBA class network with students in the two-year program. Last Thursday's "Know Your AMBA Colleagues" Sage Social was a big hit among all students and staff members. We all had fun chewing down delicious food and playing a game of "AMBA Human Bingo". Oh, by the way, Katy is an excellent golfer!
Hi Everyone! My one minute bio: I’m originally from North Carolina and have a degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell. Before coming to business school I was working for a company in Cape Cod in Massachusetts which designed and built underwater robots to map the ocean floor. I’m coming back to business school to learn how to speed robotic technology development in the defense industry. I want to get robots out of the lab and into the field to save human lives. In addition to playing with robots, I love playing golf and volleyball preferably on or near a beach. Patrick and I are very excited about representing the fantastic AMBA group in student council. We’re currently focusing on getting the group fully exposed to the two year students including those who comprise the bulk of our marvelous 2010 class! We are cooking up some creative plans for the fall. Hopefully you’ll hear about them through Alex soon!

I am officially second year!
I am officially a second year! Back from the two-week summer break, I entered the hustling and bustling Sage Hall and couldn’t help wondering “Is this the same quiet and leisurely Sage we spent the whole summer in?”
All my AMBA classmates are back tanned and relaxed. Some are sporting new hairdos for the upcoming corporate briefings and recruiting events. We exchanged stories of the Hamptons, the Cape and Miami. Michel spent two weeks on the beaches of Mallorca in Spain, and has the tan to prove it. A dozen of them came back early from their break to be facilitators of Johnson Outdoor Experience for first years. Hats off to them!
It is very exciting to see some first years I first met at Destination Johnson back in April (wow, it feels like eons ago). I am glad they made the decision to come to Johnson. I first met Vivek at DJ, and now he is a fellow Johnson blogger! Randall sent out an email of the profile of the Class of 2011. They are an impressive group. I am proud to announce China is well represented in this class. This group of 12 brilliant and accomplished students more than doubled the number of last year’s class.
I had a hard time deciding what courses I am taking. There are so many interesting electives taught by the outstanding faculty at the Johnson School. We also have the choice to dabble in thousands of courses available at Cornell. I am taking Operations, Macroeconomics, Management Writing, and Cases in Venture Financing at the Johnson School, and Health Care Finance Management at the College of Human Ecology. I also audited a few more courses at the Hotel School across the street from Sage Hall. It was tough to drop some of these courses to fit the 18 credit hour cap.
I look forward to the next nine months at the Johnson School. General Electric led off the corporate briefings on September 9th. We have had seventeen since then, including J. P. Morgan, Citi, American Express, Intel, Proctor and Gamble, Unilever, and Deloitte. My goals for this fall semester are: do well in recruiting, network with the 2-year classmates, learn business skills in the electives, and break 100 on the beautiful Robert T. Jones Golf Course.
