STUDENT LIFE: BOSTON CAMPUS
‘Boston’s Best’ on campus
As part of the ‘Boston’s Best’ speaker series, Hult Boston welcomed
some of the biggest business names in the city on campus this
semester. Guest speakers from Boston’s strongest industries – finance,
consulting, marketing, and innovation – included Kevin Millsom, Vice
President of Goldman Sachs; Brian Carty, Chief Marketing Officer at
Steward Health Care System; David Bergers, Managing Director and
General Counsel at LPL Financial; and Cathy Wissink, Senior Director of
Technology and Civic Engagement at Microsoft. The events aim to give
students a local perspective on job growth and career paths in Boston,
as well as offering the chance to network with business leaders and hear
their career stories, the lessons they learned, and what their job entails.
Networking like a Rockstar event with Jaymin Patel
Hult Boston’s Career Services team hosted professional trainer, coach,
and author Jaymin Patel’s ‘Networking like a Rockstar’ talk on campus.
Over 250 students attended to hear Jaymin provide practical tips on
networking at career fairs, landing your dream job, and building effective
relationships with influential individuals. Jaymin also provided an insight
into what a recruiter is really thinking, and how they make decisions. The
event was a great success with students, who enjoyed Jaymin’s
entertaining presenting style and the applicable nature of his advice.

On November 20, Hult Boston hosted the very first Square One Challenge (S1C) for this academic year. The S1C allows competing student
teams to provide creative and practical solutions to real-life, current, and
strategic challenges posed by two companies located in the Boston
area. This year, Danielle Remis Hackel, Managing Director of State Street
Global Advisors (the investment management division of State Street
Bank and Trust), and KD Waltner, Design Director at Reebok, set their
challenge to 120 MIB and MIM students, giving them 40 minutes to
develop a solution and just three minutes to present. Congratulations to
the winning teams: Baltic Team 4 for the State Street Global Advisors
challenge, and Caspian Team 4 for the KD Waltner challenge!
