| FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Guest Blog: What Learning Team Means to Me |
In today’s guest blog, First Year Martin Erzinger writes about his experiences with his learning team: Martin Erzinger, MBA Class of 2015 “No description of the Darden experience would be complete without talking about the learning team. At a basic level, learning teams are assigned groups of five to six classmates from different sections who gather nightly to prepare for the next day’s case method discussions. In reality, they end up meaning much more. Learning teams are the backbone of the Darden experience. They’re where some of your strongest friendships will form, where you debrief on the (at times) chaotic pace at Darden, and where you can find a safe place to learn from your dynamic classmates. To give you the best flavor for the learning team environment, I’d like to describe my awesome learning team – LT20. Our team encompasses a variety of backgrounds and experiences, from analyzing credit risk for Fannie Mae to growing up in Shanghai and working for Ford’s Chinese Division. Darden makes sure that the people in each learning team complement each other well. You’ll typically meet with your team four nights a week. The meeting times and durations vary between learning teams, but here’s a glance at our team’s usual meeting schedule:
Martin Erzinger loves being representative for his section (Go Section B!) and building friendships with great people. Before Darden, he worked in Russia and the midwestern United States in the agribusiness sector. He is originally from the great state of Colorado and loves the outdoors in Charlottesville.� |

| FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Women in Leadership at Darden and the Forté Fellows Program |
|
Continuing our progress in attracting and recruiting more women to business school, the Darden School of Business enrolled a record percentage of women (35%) in the Class of 2014 — the School’s highest percentage to date. Women excel in leadership positions at Darden. Seventeen of Darden’s student organizations are led by women and more than 40 female students have taken on roles as vice presidents. Of note, Darden’s four largest career clubs — the Consulting Club, Marketing Club, General Management and Operations Club and Finance Club — each boasting between 200 and 400 student members are all led by women. This year, two ambassador positions were created within the Darden Forté Fellows, a group of students who actively participate in the Forté community. Darden’s Forté ambassadors strive to connect Darden women with the educational and professional resources — ranging from fellowships to webinars and networking opportunities — that Forté Foundation offers women pursuing their MBA. One of the new programs launched this year was the mentorship program between women in Darden’s Class of 2014 and 2015. Learn more about the Forté Fellows program in this podcast with Forté ambassador Jennifer Forman. You can read more about women leaders at Darden on our website. |
