BADA Regions
Mentoring
Kristina Black ’12 (mentee,) from the Chicagoarea,
on Tyrone Byrd ’73 (mentor):
“I was paired with Mr. Byrd spring term of
sophomore year because of my interest in
obtaining a dual J.D/ M.B.A. degree and for
some people, contacting someone they had
never met would have been simple, but I was
definitely a bit nervous. I needn’t have been;
not only did Mr. Byrd answer all of my
questions about the accounting profession and
his career, he put me in touch with other alums,
James Carr in Chicago, and Jeffery Hunter, who
were both open and eager to talk and meet
with me, sharing the wealth of their
experiences and invaluable suggestions.
Each of these mentors has stressed the
critical importance of networking. I found a
phenomenal internship last quarter, Fall 2010,
in the Global Employer Services dept. at
Deloitte LLP Tax, in Chicago. Working as a tax
intern, not only was I invited to return next
summer, I was offered a contract—which I was
thrilled to sign, for full-time employment
beginning in June, 2012 as a Tax Consultant.”
The BADA Executive Committee and the Regional Directors have committed to restoring our
presence in the ten cities across the country. This is the single most important thing we can accomplish
over the next few years. It will re-engage our alumni and students, as well as create a revitalized
interest in the College. Gatherings like this one (below) in DC, and those that have been held in New
York, Philadelphia and Atlanta, exemplify this new spirit.
