IE Club’s IEngage Event

Last April 18, for the second year in a row, IE Club held its IEngage event for graduating IE students. Organized by IE Club’s Alumni Relations team, the event featured three keynote speakers in the afternoon, followed by the networking dinner in the evening. Featured in the afternoon program were Jaime “Bing” del Rosario, UPIEAA president, who talked about “Life After College”; Elise del Rosario, who narrated her experience in leading the 50-country International Federation of OR Societies, or IFORS for the three years 2007-2009; and Tim Go, who discussed his perspective on taking up a masters degree (an MBA at Spain’s IESE) after an IE undergrad. The evening saw different groups of IE Club members move through a dozen different tables that featured IE alumni who informally shared their experiences and answered questions, in a format that resembled “speed dating”.
