Got to be back in my happy place on campus in East Lansing today. It was a jam-packed couple of hours: - Introduced Accenture and careers in consulting to new freshman exploring business paths. - Joined a networking session with MSU Students Consulting for Nonprofit Organizations (SCNO) and MSUMA. - Attended the inaugural Welcome to the Major event at the Michigan State University - Eli Broad College of Business for the newest Management students. It was fantastic catching up with old friends (and bosses!) and meeting many amazing Spartans. GO GREEN! ??
