A Heaven of Opportunities

There are innumerable opportunities to contribute to the student’s community at LBS. This realization hit me not when I nominated myself for the post of the Academic Rep of my class, but after I lost the elections for the same!
Clubs: There are around 80 clubs that are active in sending out invites for various events to either the student community at large or to its members in particular which are in need of officers for its Executive Committee (EC). The selection process to become an EC member of a club is quite competitive. There are myriad roles to be played as part of the EC and donning one of them is a sure way to send the right signals to your recruiters!
Student Association: The SA has various positions for which it holds elections. Students contending for these positions represent the needs of the student community at large.
Taking part in club activities apart from volunteering to be nominated and being successful in the selection process to form part of the Executive Committee of the various clubs are ways of meeting students from different programs. ‘Networking’ is the thrust at London Business School and it also includes knowing as many students as possible – there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained from the student community!
Program Ambassadors: There is also the program office that is on the lookout for student ambassadors for the respective programs. This is indeed an invaluable way to attract talent and connect with prospective students.
The School offers to its students, adequate means  to showcase their enthusiasm and spirit. ‘Willingness’ is always rewarded with ‘Opportunity’ as well as ‘Recognition’. Who would have thought that between academics, company information sessions, networking events and job search, being part of the Executive Committee of two sought-after clubs of the School and a MiF Ambassador would leave me with absolutely no time to even think twice about anything?! However, this madness is my sanity check and I thoroughly enjoy it!
