Networking

eForum Takes Off

The world of e-commerce moves quickly. How quickly? Prior to the Tuck School's Boston eForum, a high-tech networking event held in January for students and alumni (a similar event was held in Silicon Valley last December), employers who planned to attend received a collection of student resumes. When Mike Reynolds T'01 arrived at the check-in desk, he found a message waiting from a prospective employer. The two met, and a week later Reynolds had a job.

Obviously, Reynolds thinks eForum was a success. So do the networking event's creators, Tuck professor Phil Ferneau '84, T'96, program director of the Foster Center for Private Equity, and Andy Steele T'79, Tuck's director of alumni affairs. "The atmosphere was businesslike," says Ferneau. "Representativesfrom established internet companies and ambitious startups, consultants, venture capitalists, bankers, job-seeking students—everybody loves the networking." Casey Noga '00
