Executives on Campus Mentee Alumni Program (MAP)

EOC MAP Kicks Off with Summer Picnic
The Mentee Alumni Program (MAP) successfully launched at the EOC’s 10th anniversary celebration on May 5th, 2011. To move forward with our organization, MAP kicked off summer in style with our first event, a picnic on June 5th at Madison Square Park with some delicious picnic food and casual sports activities for the alumni.

Alumni enjoyed homemade guacamole and chips and fresh cut fruits as they networked with each other. Participants agree that they were glad they attended. Danish Kapur said, “The last EOC event was well attended by the recent graduates working in different sectors and industries and it certainly helped in making me aware of the latest corporate trends and how companies are positioning themselves in response to the current economic conditions.”

Another student is glad to be a part of EOC MAP. She said, “An important part of the Baruch education/experience is the relationships we build with our peers and professors. EOC MAP allows us to extend this experience by giving us the opportunity to further build on the network of awesome students, present and former. It is fun and it’s good for our career development.”

Attendees are excited about attending more EOC MAP events. If you have an idea for a future event or would like to organize one, feel free to email us at [email protected].

What’s Next Up for MAP?
MAP will be hosting our first workshop, “Managing the Corporate Ladder Series” on Wednesday, October 12, 2011 at 7PM in NVC 14-275 (55 Lexington Avenue). Long time Baruch mentor and newly anointed MAP Consiglieri, also an Executive Director of Finance and Planning at Thomas Industrial Network, Jeffrey Goldstein will be holding an hour-long interactive discussion about:

• understanding your place on the corporate ladder
• learning how to “manage up the ladder”
• lateral career moves and why they might be an overlooked strategy
• how to begin to take control of your forward momentum up the career ladder by effectively understanding your role in managing yourself and your boss

Space is extremely limited on a first-come-first served basis! RSVP NOW to EOC Alumni! Light snacks and refreshments will be served.

MAP to Support Current EOC Mentees
Executive Student Partnership (ESP) Mentoring Program of 2013 kicked off with their launch event on September 15th. The next step is matching mentor and mentee pairs and both parties are waiting enthusiastically and nervously to find out who they have been matched with. In order to prepare the mentees for the mentoring program so they can make the most of their mentorship, Ryan Meltzer from J.P. Morgan and Jason Wang from Citigroup, Baruch alumni, former ESP mentees and current board members of MAP will be conducting a mentee orientation on Tuesday, October, 25, 2011 during club hour at 12:45PM in room 14-245 in the Vertical Campus. Jason and Ryan will share their experiences during their tenure with the program, share tips on how to build an everlasting relationship with their mentors and ways and techniques to reap the benefits to its fullest out of the year-long program. Mentees are encouraged to attend where they will have the chance to ask questions and gain insight from their peers.
