I nearly forgot to write about Just About Jobs, which first happened here at the Johnson School last year. The second installment happened on two different dates in March.

Sam Johnson had read that some recruiters didn't like to visit Ithaca because of its remote location. So, with Mr. Johnson's help, S.C. Johnson and some alums provided private jets from NetJets to fly recruiters in from NYC and Boston at no cost to their companies. It's a great way for recruiters to find some talented MBAs and get a free trip, and a great way for us to meet companies who ordinarily wouldn't come out here.

The event got a lot of press coverage, including a couple of mentions in the Wall Street Journal. Even though I didn't participate in it this year or last year, it really created quite a buzz in the school. It's really remarkable when you have a couple dozen recruiters in the building all at once. Not to mention the coolness of your school flying people in on private jets to interview for jobs!
