Presentation by Muriel Siebert - Recipient of the Women in Leadership Award

(Excerpts taken from the February 11th issue of the Monroe Street Journal)

On Thursday, February 7, the Michigan Business Women presented the ‘Women In Leadership Award’ to Muriel Siebert, the first woman to own a seat on the New York Stock Exchange. The presentation/lecture was the kick-off event of the Michigan Business Women’s annual conference.

After a brief introduction, Muriel, or Mickie, as she is widely known, strode to the podium and said, "My story should be entitled ‘Only In America.’" She proceeded to explain the title by describing how, after attending 2½ years at Case Western Reserve University, she dropped out and moved to New York with $500 and a used Studebaker.

"Inspiration from Wise and Wonderful Women" - A Recap of the 2002 Women in Leadership Conference

(Excerpts taken from the February 11th issue of the Monroe Street Journal)

On Friday, February 8, members of the UMBS community, as well as University of Michigan students, alumni and professionals from across the country attended the 2002 Women in Leadership Conference in Hale Auditorium. Both women and men attended panels and workshops, discussed important business issues, and established productive new relationships. The group was also honored to hear from two distinguished keynote speakers: Ginger Graham and Ronna Lichtenberg. 

Ginger Graham, Group Chairman, Office of the President of Guidant Corporation opened the morning with the first keynote address. After sharing her background, Ms. Graham gave the group advice based on her extensive business experience. This advice included ten key concepts, the first of which was "Showing up is not good enough. It is not just being there but what you do when you are there that is important. Take the opportunity to make a difference."

Ronna Lichtenberg closed the conference with another inspiring address. Ms. Lichtenberg challenged the group to define success for themselves and become CEOs of their lives. She gave the group the following suggested process as "homework": 1) Develop a personal vision. To help you do this, spend 20 minutes envisioning your ideal day. Then picture your worst work day; 2) Develop a business plan to support your vision. Your personal vision is as important as anything you do at work so make a serious plan; and 3) Bring the product to market. Develop a board of directors to support and mentor you through this process.

An Interview with University of Michigan Interim President B. Joseph White

(Excerpts taken from the February 11th issue of the Monroe Street Journal)

The University of Michigan is in search of a new president following Lee Bollinger’s late 2001 departure to become President of Columbia University in New York City. Currently serving as interim president is former Dean of the Business School, B. Joseph White. Dr. White was interviewed on a call-in radio program at Michigan Radio (WUOM, 97.1 fm) on February 1. Following are excerpts from his interview, including his thoughts on leading the University of Michigan, the school’s appeal to small companies, and-of course-the effects of Enron.

When asked about his role as Interim President, President White said, "It’s a complete thrill every day to serve as President of the University of Michigan. It’s a tremendous honor and both my wife, Mary, and I are delighted and pleased to serve the university in this way at this time." President White sees his current role as part steward and part activist. He and the rest of the administration are finding things they can do in a short period of time that will make a positive impact on the university and the community.

Alumni in the News

Shawn Sabanayagam (MBA ’96), Principal, Trident Partners, LLC Profiled in Monroe Street Journal

(Excerpts taken from the February 11th issue of the Monroe Street Journal)

The interview with Shawn Sabanayagam is the second in a new series Alumni Relations is launching to assist students with the unique challenges and opportunities in the current economy and job market. This series, named Real Time...Real People...Real Answers, is based on interviews with successful UMBS alumni in a variety of industries and career functions. 

In this interview, Shawn offered the following advice for today’s students looking for internships or positions in his field of private equity. His advice applies to all who are experiencing difficulty in the current economic situation:

"UMBS students seeking an internship or a permanent position in private equity should clearly be very aggressive in their job search today. More aggressive and focused than, for example, I was in 1996. There are sectors like biotechnology and areas within healthcare that have done fairly well in the latter part of 2001. Private equity firms focusing on doing deals in these sectors are still seeing a good level of activity. Seek them out and contact them for job opportunities and interviews. Highlight any prior experience you may have in these industries to get these firms’ attention. Be more flexible with your geographic requirements - at least for the short-term. Apply to firms internationally. Clearly, parts of Latin America such as Argentina are areas you do not want to pursue. However, parts of Europe are still seeing activity in the private equity sector. Seek out theses firms and be proactive about contacting them for opportunities.

If all else fails and you find yourself without a job in your first choice industry, apply to companies and positions in related fields. For example, a candidate can work in corporate finance or a related finance function and switch over to the private equity field when the sector recovers."

UMBS Society of Washington, DC, Board Member/Alumnus To Perform in "Off-Broadway" Play

Tom Wedemire (BBA ’96) will be performing in Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors" at The Little Theatre of Alexandria, VA, throughout the month of March. Tom calls the performance an "off-off-off-off-1, 2, 3...n Broadway" play. Tom’s role is that of Balthazar the merchant...not a giant role, he says, but not an insignificant one either. 

There are 21 performances of the play beginning on Friday, March 1, and ending on Saturday, March 23. For all information (e.g. ticket prices, directions to the theater), please visit The Little Theatre's website at http://www.thelittletheatre.com/index.html.  Also, you can find the text of the play on-line just by searching Shakespeare or "The Comedy of Errors." As Tom says, "Shakespeare has been dead for a long time, so his copyrights have expired." 

Break a leg, Tom!
