The Global Business Network (GBN) is a closed community composed of business orientated student organizations from leading universities all around the world. SPBA joined the GBN in January 2009. As an organizing member, SPBA is helping to organize the 2009 GBN Challenge.
GBN Challenge 2009
During the years of steady growth investors were busy choosing stocks that go up quicker than others and were less concerned with the value of the stocks. Unlike in the growth of the bubble, now as stock prices fall we would like to know where we will hit the bottom. What is the value of a share in the worst case?
Now that classical models failed to predict this crisis, can you do better? What is value to you and what is risk? The GBN seeks original ideas that, with the advice of some experts of the field can turn into recognized market statements.
SPBA is partnering with several business industry leaders to plan company visits to their Bay area offices. Come join a small group of SPBA members and visit successful companies in banking, consulting, retail, and high tech to experience what it’s really like to hold a business position at these prestigious companies. All members of the Stanford student body are welcome but spots are limited so sign up early!
SPBA is working with the CDC’s Stanford Shadow Program to give all Stanford students a chance to shadow, or spend a day on the job with, a professional in a variety of different fields in order to gain a better awareness of the working world. Go to the CDC website to search the database of professionals who are eager to share their workplace experiences with you and submit an application to shadow the one(s) that most interest you: http://cardinalcareers.stanford.edu/shadow/xdefault.htm
mentors and mentees chatting at the gsb
The SPBA Mentorship Program serves as a platform for interchange and as a foundation for career and interest networks between undergraduates and GSB students. In order to ensure quality mentoring relationships, we try our best to match participants with similar interests and to maintain a low mentee-to-mentor ratio. We hold regular informal gatherings (1-2 per quarter) and encourage individual meetings with your mentors throughout the year.
