Welcome back to spring semester everyone. We, at CESR, are excited about the coming months and are planning a full suite of events designed around social and environmental impact work. You may be familiar with some of our event formats from the fall such as the Find Your Path panels for undergraduates and Careers in Sustainability panels for graduate students, and our Changemakers series. This semester CESR will also be holding networking events, case competitions and presenting new collaborations with the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship, the Burridge Center for Finance, 抖阴旅行射 Real Estate Center (抖阴旅行射REC) and the Office of Diversity Affairs (ODA).听
CESR will continue to feature and amplify diverse voices working on business and climate change, ethical leadership and justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. We are always interested in connecting with new people and strengthening our network. Please reach out if you have a recommendation of someone we should meet.
We remain 100% virtual this spring and look forward to the day we will be back together in person. In the meantime, we are always available for one-on-one meetings, and we encourage you to drop in on Julie Waggoner鈥檚 office hours, . Come talk about your career goals, your Leeds experience, or just say 鈥渉i.鈥� She would love to chat with you.
CESR Explores
Congratulations to those students who attended CESR events this past fall and earned CESR Explores rewards. Through CESR Explores each event you attend earns you one point toward a prize. Each time you reach a qualifying level we will send you that reward. It's that simple!听
The program carries over into this semester and rewards are cumulative. So if you are working toward the Executive Lunch you still have an opportunity to earn that this spring. For our students who already reached the upper reward levels, congratulations! If you have qualified for our new CESR Explores Advisory Council we look forward to working with you on enhancements to make this program even more valuable to you and your peers.听
