Student Clubs at the SOM are run by and organized by SOM students. The MBA Office Staff assists with the transition from one year to the next by gathering names of interested students and by setting up each club in WebCT. Let's
start a Yoga Club! Tentative plans are to meet for 10 weeks during the Spring '05 semester on Thursdays from 3:30 to around 4:45/5:00 possibly in the Purple room at 409 Commonwealth. We will be able to subsidize the cost of the class with the club allowance, but there will be a charge, possibly around $50 for the semester ($5/class) depending on the amount of people willing to pay up front. Other arrangements can be made with the instructor (drop-ins or reduced fee depending on financial need). To get the ball rolling we need to know how many people can make a commitment. Please email sharon.dudelson@simmons.edu if you are interested, are able to make a 10 week financial commitment, and if the day and time works for you. Please respond by Monday, January 10th. Please note that this club is in the works so changes might be made according to the availability of the yoga teacher and the requirements of Simmons SOM.

The meetings took place in Chicago, Dallas, and Westchester, NY, and were held for the company’s women executives. Holvino’s presentation was entitled “Leveraging your Support to Enhance your Career.” On December 9th, SOM Professor Mary Shapiro gave a talk, “Presenting with Credibility & Authority,” to Verizon employees in Boston. Deborah M. Kolb, the Deloitte Ellen Gabriel Professor for Women and Leadership, will speak to 75 top women executives of the Campbell Soup Co. in Philadelphia on January 12. Her talk is entitled “Everyday Negotiation: Creating the Conditions for Leadership Success.” On February 1, Acting Dean Deborah Merrill-Sands will be a panelist at the National Council for Research on Women’s Corporate Circle meeting entitled “Opting Out: Myth, Viable Option, or Media Spin.” The event takes place in New York City.

Deborah M. Kolb, the Deloitte Ellen Gabriel Professor for Women and Leadership, was quoted in the October 18 issue of the Philadelphia Metro. In the article “Work Savvy Secrets for Women,” Kolb explains that savviness is knowing how to negotiate, which brings about the conditions for individual success. The Simmons School of Management was featured prominently in the January 4th Boston Herald article “Turning Up the Degrees.” Assistant Dean of MBA Admissions Andrea Bruce was quoted saying that one-third of the students entering the Simmons MBA program are coming from the non-profit sector, and this has been consistent for four years.

Sherry Gordon SOM ’79 recently sold her start-up company Valuedge, Inc., of Lexington to Burlington-based Emptoris.
