Sandeep Goel is one of the newest faces at Elon’s Business School, stepping into the role of Executive in Residence for Fall 2024.

With a career spanning industries like healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and high-tech manufacturing, Sandeep Goel P’27 brings global experience to the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business’ Executive in Residence program.

Goel, the President and CEO of SAYAS Alliance Inc., answered questions about what he hopes to accomplish and how Elon students can benefit.

Mike Pilato (BAcc ’98), President and CEO of Jamieson Wellness Inc., connected with Goodman students during his return to campus.

At a series of small roundtable sessions on Sept. 26, Pilato shared his career journey and insights to answer the personal questions of current students. Ranging from school advice to guidance for their careers ahead, some of the day’s takeaways include:

⚖ Be well-rounded – beyond achieving good grades, also focus on gaining practical experiences and enjoying your time in school.

💪 Just get started – no career path is perfect or linear. Dive into the foundational years of your career and discover what you’re good at.

🤝 Stay connected – networking, but more importantly, staying connected with your network is vital to career growth.

We thank you Mike for spending the day with our students to share your insights and, in return, enrich the Goodman experience.

Crowds cheered for BBA Double Degree student Mitchell Chan at the 2024 Paris Games 📣

While he didn’t compete himself, Chan did work the Paris Olympics and Paralympics this summer. The unique opportunity arose by staying on the team at Mainfreight once his international co-op term finished.

Fans erupted when Chan got on a bike at the Games as part of quality control – bringing his own Olympic dream to life. “It was an incredible moment,” Chan recalls. “In French, they say ‘Prends plaisir’ — find pleasure in the moments. I feel blessed this happened, that I had the chance to do this.”

Now, the fourth-year student’s dreams continue to come true as he’s embarked on an apprenticeship in France while finishing a handful of courses at Goodman.

“I’m thankful for so many things,” Chan says. “If I wasn’t in the double degree program, this wouldn’t have happened. I can’t speak highly enough of the program.” Read the full story ➡ https://lnkd.in/ge7x7eUH
