Welcome back to another edition of Stacy Blackman’s B-School Buzz, where we share the latest goings-on from the MBA applicant and student trenches. This week, our Buzz bloggers celebrate a premiere social event; describe recruiting season; and offer links to videos and blogs that help make the application process just a tiny bit easier.
Business Gives Back recap—As he enters the home stretch of his MBA program at GWU School of Business, Part-Timer recounts the highlights of this student-led initiative celebrating a commitment to responsible business and social change.

Something to read and something to watch—This week, CCatcher shares two links that contain good advice for MBA applicants. One is a video that helped her reorient whenever she drifted away from the all-important “WHY” while working on those essays; the other is a Seth Godin blog entry she says is relevant to the application process.
It’s recruiting time—After a lengthy hiatus of 12–gasp!–days from blogging, Ellipser is back with the lowdown on recruiting season at Cornell’s Johnson School. Much celebrating has transpired for those recipients of internship offers, and a bit of commiserating with the less-than-lucky has taken place as well.
