The POTLUCK Aftermath

We may think that we are busy now, but we have a unique opportunity while in grad school. Soon, we will join the workforce again. With all of our efforts focused on proving that we are worth our salaries, we will feel as if we have no time to learn outside of the office. And even if we do have the time, we will not necessarily have a network of interesting and readily-available people who share our interests.

You took Cultural Exploration and Communication - I understand. You completed your project for Portfolio Development - I understand. First Years - I don't know what your excuse is. POTLUCK, while similar on the surface, offers something different. It is the chance to share in the experiences of your classmates with no strings attached. No studying, no peer evaluations, no subjects off limit. As Strategists, we try to understand people and brands. As creatives, you strive to make your work resonate. Becoming a part of the experiences of your classmates can only help with those things.

In short, Carpe Diem. You should never be too busy to broaden yourself and support your peers - especially when you have the chance to do those two things at the same time.
