LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO CAMPUS
Welcome Week at Hult San Francisco
Dragon’s Den campus battle
We welcomed our first undergraduate class to San Francisco this term,
with two weeks of arrival and Orientation activities. Welcome Week
activities included: a welcome reception and group photo; San Francisco
sightseeing tour; Giants baseball game; American sports day in the park;
and outings to local neighborhoods and cities to get students acquainted
with each other and the Bay Area. The week ended with a boat cruise on
the Bay, and lots of dancing!
Several Bachelor of Business Administration student teams went headto-head at our London campus to compete in a Dragon’s Den-style
competition. Students had limited time to come up with a winning business idea and pitch it to a panel of judges that included: David Woods,
Editorial Director at LID Publishing; Lazo Freeman, a successful fitness
entrepreneur-turned-lifestyle entrepreneur; and Dr. Melissa Willby, Dean
of our undergraduate London campus. The fun, high-powered event
saw the Ecuadorian BBA student duo behind the Expo-Prawn team
crowned winners.
Flux business simulations
As part of Enterprise Week, around 40 Hult undergraduate students
participated in FLUX business simulations. Students were presented with
a case study for an ailing company and had just 25 minutes to deliver a
business plan to help raise profitability and ensure long-term viability in a
competitive marketplace. The student teams came up with some interesting suggestions for raising revenue—a promising start to the global
competition, which takes place in April, with student teams from other
universities also competing.
Head of Talent from Enterprise Rent-a-Car visits Hult London
Corporate Relations Europe recently welcomed the Head of Talent
from Enterprise Rent-a-Car to Hult House East. The event featured a
presentation on their International and European Management trainee
programs and internship opportunities, and the BBA student turnout was
great. The presentation was followed by a great networking session, filled
with lots of pizza!
Career Discovery Series
In October, Hult San Francisco’s BBA students were invited to a panel as
part of the Career Discovery Series, to help them start exploring different
industries and thinking about career paths. Over 150 attendees showed
up, including panelists from Accenture, Boston Consulting Group, and
MapR Technologies, to name a few. A highly informative and engaging
evening was enjoyed by all.
New accommodation opens for Hult London & San Francisco
students
For the first time this fall, Hult London and San Francisco welcomed undergraduate students to brand-new accommodation. Hult Lodge at Lake
Merritt in San Francisco underwent a USD 10 million renovation, while
the campus accommodation at Hult House East, Hult Tower & Studios,
puts students at the heart of London, minutes from their classrooms.
