1. A day with AN Industry Expert at Galgotias University
The last week before the study break for fall semester exams was the eventful for the students of
Galgotias School of business,there were 8 companies that stopped over our campus for the placement
of Final year MBA Students, juniors were engaged with Industry Experts and Business fest throughout
the week.
Mrs. Rita Laurel from the United States was our guest during the week;the last day of that week was
very special for us when she shared her 27 years Industry experience in US with all the students of BBA
and MBA. It was a treatto listen to her and the meeting turned into an immediate success when the
audience started chipping inspontaneously.We found a great teacher inside her who can connect
immediately with anyone.Her motherly figure was so influential that the cross cultural difference
mitigated immediately.
She talked about the role of Modern day managers with a global perspective, their cross functional role
and responsibilities and her personal insights to how to be a good manager.We came to know about the
huge scope of IT and Business analytics in today’s scenario.She talked about certain attributes that one
should possess being a Management student like Multi-tasking, Hardworking, Positive attitude and most
off all broader mind that can grasp all the good things around. Mrs.Laurel shared her experience with
Hewitt and Packard as an Organizational manager where she solved various managerial problems and
shared the tricks and tips behind the solution of those problems. We also came to know how she
managed more than 300 people who were working under her and how she connected with them both
professionally and personally to yield a better output as a whole team.
Our respected Pro Vice chancellor Mr.Balaji was also present there encouraging the students along with
Mrs. Swati priya madam from Business communication department. The hour passed in no time when
she concluded that learning should be the first priority than any other thing after entering incorporate
world.
We, the students felt exalted when she said “I found the students Bright, engazing and enthusiastic as a
listener and quick learner”. In my part it was a wonderful experience in such a time when I am on the
threshold of entering into the corporate world from my 22 years of apprentice life.
