BOC Intern with Niki Anand

Hi Everyone,

My name is Niki Anand and I am a rising junior majoring in Business Administration. I am currently interning for the Business Opportunities Conference through the Tepper School of Business. The Business Opportunities Conference is a student run recruiting event that allows students in various business concentrations to interact with potential employers in a formal setting. Along with the BOC, the committee also organizes other events for the recruiters and students to really benefit from the BOC.

You’re probably asking what do I actually do as the BOC intern? Well, while the majority of the committee is all over the country (and even abroad), I am coordinating critical activities that need to be accomplished before the school starts. To hold an event of this magnitude, it is important that the marketing, operations, and financial plans are all in sync. Some of the activities I get to be involved with are working with our Student Activities Office to finalize the contracts between the companies we work with. I also get to personally contact recruiters from big companies and invite them to the BOC. I work with the undergraduate business administration and the career offices on a daily basis.

Another nice thing about my internship is that I get to spend the summer in Pittsburgh! It’s been nice to explore this city when I’m not bogged down by homework and exams.

I look forward to updating you guys on the progress of this event. Be sure to check out the BOC facebook page as well (it’s a link on the side of this blog).

-Niki
