Workshop for prospective students.
December 2006
We supported the local chapters of the National Black MBA
Association and the National Black Accountants Association during a holiday
toy drive to benefit Toys for Tots. The event was an opportunity to support
a great charity and meet other Bay Area professionals.
February 2007
In celebration of Black History Month, the BBSA and the
MBA Association VP of Diversity sponsored an event at the Julia Morgan
Center of the Arts. The opening night performance of Buffalo Soldiers A
Tale Lost was a thoughtful reflection of the experiences of
African-American and Native American soldiers during the Indian Wars.
During February the BBSA also supported Haas fundraising
efforts for Special Olympics and the Alameda Point Collaborative.
March 2007
BBSA members joined the San Francisco Chapter of the
National Black MBA Association at the Museum of the African Diaspora for a
local professional networking event that celebrated the recent opening of
the museum.

In April, the BBSA hosted a weekly Haas tradition - Bar
of the Week - at Paragon, a local bar/lounge at The Claremont Hotel. During
May we reached out to prospective students at the San Francisco National
Black MBA Association career fair.

However, Days at
Haas in April and May, our admit weekends, were the main events during the
weeks before final exams. The BBSA pulled out all the stops to welcome new
students. Our events included participation in the following activities:
- Pre-Diversity
Reception in the Bank of America forum - Light
refreshments and casual conversation were on hand to get the weekend
started.
- Club fair - A great
opportunity to be reminded of all there is at Haas outside the
classroom. At the BBSA table students could learn more about what we
do, join our mailing list and snag some candy!
- Diversity
Student/Alumni Mixer - Graciously hosted by alumna Monica Stevens, the
night was an opportunity for admitted students to meet the other half
of the Haas community (alumni).
- Consumption Function - Last but not
least, LAHBA and the BBSA sponsored a Carnival themed festival that was
a perfect cap to the weekend with a wide variety of food and live
entertainment.
