2012 MIT Sloan Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) Thread

Hi manye,

Thanks for the questions. It is a good one as the committees are not currently listed on the website. Additionally, the best way to research the committees is to ask questions like you are now. Feel free to ask more follow-ups. Further, on your visits to LGO, I recommend talking to some current students who are members of the particular committees you may be interesting in joining.

Here is a blurb about the committees that is very accurate:
A benefit of the LGO experience is the opportunity to work with classmates, faculty, staff, and industry representatives on standing committees and subcommittees that define the governance and operation of the LGO Program. The established committees are Internship; Leadership; New Partners; Plant Trek; Curriculum; New Student Recruiting; Student Life; Alumni Relations; Seminar; and CLFM/LGO Synergy Committee.

Each standing committee is comprised of students, faculty, staff, and in many cases industry representatives and has a specific mission with a number of tasks to be completed during the year. Industry representatives are often selected from our Operating Committee (comprised of officials from the partner companies) as part of a specific charter decision each June. Students are expected to participate as full members of the standing committees and attend all standing committee meetings.


Basically, the committees are the way the students are able to give their input and help run (in many cases) parts of the program. They provide good leadership opportunities and have given me experience doing jobs that I did not do in the past.

I hope this helps,
Zach
