A Message from Sigrid
The Foster community was busy this last weekend! Prepping for mid-terms, the Halloween TG, and Husky Football (and Brunch Edition Huddle) brought people together!
Special shout outs to these amazing community builders:
- The MBAA Student Affairs team for planning another great TG and Jason Schechtman for the TG Costume Competition
- Derik Kumagai, Chase Kania, and Asal Mirsalimi for offering up Weekend Accounting Fun sessions for their colleagues
- Huddle Team and Consulting Society for hosting the “SoCal-themed” Huddle event
Good luck this week with mid-terms! Study hard, breathe deep, and remember these exam tips: Manage your time, outline your essays, and stay for the whole exam period to double-check your work.

Best,
Sigrid Olsen
