SUMMARY:Community Service:ISBA Education Session 3: Networking and Coffee Chats
DESCRIPTION:From navigating the infamous networking “circles of death” at company presentations to figuring out who to reach out to and what to actually say in a coffee chat\, networking during recruiting can feel awkward\, daunting\, and unclear.\nIn this in-person ISBA Education Session\, we’ll break down networking and coffee chats across different recruiting paths\, including consulting\, finance\, tech\, general management\, and more. We’ll cover how to use alumni outreach\, corporate presentations\, treks\, club events\, and one-on-one conversations effectively\; who to prioritize\; how to manage follow-ups\; and how to make conversations feel more natural and less transactional.\nYou’ll hear directly from MBA2s across different recruiting paths:\n1. Keshav Muralitharan – Lincoln International\, Investment Banking\n2. ⁠Aditya Verma – Colgate-Palmolive\, General Management \n3. ⁠Debdeep (Neel) Ghosal – McKinsey & Company\, Consulting \n4. ⁠Shirley Giraldo – Samsung Electronics\, Strategy / Partnerships\n\nDate: September 18\, 2026\nTime: 4:00 - 5:00 PM\nVenue: Ross R2220\nRSVP now to MaizePages! This will be a members only event so make sure you get your memberships now or at the event door.\nAnd this won’t just be a panel. You’ll also get a chance to practice your pitch / Odyssey / introduction and take part in a mock networking circle (aka circle of death)\, so you can try it out before the next company presentation.\nCome with your questions\, practice in a low-stakes setting\, and leave with a much clearer system for approaching networking during your MBA.
