Networking

Isenberg Honors Council realizes that making connections and building bonds, both professionally and personally, is critical in the advancement of our futures. Each semester, IHC looks to network with UMASS alumni as well as other successful business executives.

Networking Panel:

Each semester IHC organizes a Networking Panel of prominent business figures and distinguished alumni. The event gives IHC members the opportunity to make high profile contacts and hear success stories first hand.

The event consists of:

• Catered dinner for Panel members and IHC executive board.
• Presentation in Flavin open to university. Panel members share advice, experience, and industry perspective.
• Q&A Session
• Refreshments and Networking

Previous Panel Members:

• Cecelia Shea: CIO for SABIC (formerly known as GE plastic)
• Jeff Cutter: President of NHP and founder of Echo Bridge Capital hedge fund.
• Kathleen Lahey: VP of Goldman Sachs
• Sean Leblanc: Partner and Branch Manager of Union Capital
• Bill Lee: VP of Market Data and firm wide research at Morgan Stanley
• And many more!

Networking Trip:

IHC believes in giving members the opportunity to experience a variety of industries in order to facilitate solidified and educated decisions that will fuel your career. IHC plans an overnight Networking Trip to Boston in the fall and NY in the spring. We meet top management at their corporate headquarters, make key contacts, and experience “a day in the life” of each company. The trip is paid for largely by the funds we raise with an average cost of $10/person.
