STUDENT ACTIVITY SPONSORSHIP GUIDE FOR CORPORATE PARTNERS
‐ 1 ‐
Dear Corporate Partner,
We have designed this Student Activity Sponsorship Guide to provide you with an overview of our MBA student‐led
initiatives for the 2015‐16 academic year.
At the Haas School of Business, we promote and embrace innovative approaches to strategic partnerships. We
encourage our MBA Association, student club leaders, and conference chairs to establish new relationships in the
greater business world and to work effectively with those firms already committed to philanthropic and recruitment
activities at the Berkeley‐Haas. This guide is a tool to help you work with the Berkeley‐Haas and our students in 2015‐16
and beyond.
Please reach out to us or the student leaders directly for more information on student initiatives or to suggest
innovative ways we can work together. Our contact information is listed below and we have inserted a list which
includes the student leaders’ contact information.
We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,

Real Estate Excel Modelling Class
Real Estate is a niche industry at Haas and any business school. Accordingly, it is difficult to fill classes that are entirely based on real estate subjects, especially subjects that are only interesting to students who are focused on real estate as a future career. As such, Haas is unable to fund classes that are imperative to successfully landing a career in the industry. One of these skills is real estate modelling. This sponsorship will fund a week long intensive real estate modelling course taught by an industry experts (such as Training the Street).
Full Class: $10,000
Partial Class: $1,000 increments

BREC Treks
3‐5 times per semester, BREC will travel to project sites to see firsthand how practitioners are implementing projects and navigating the uncertain waters of real estate.

CHALLENGE FOR CHARITY (C4C)
The MBA Challenge for Charity is a program spanning eight West Coast business schools that seeks to develop business leaders committed to community involvement and social responsibility. The Haas chapter of C4C plans fun and rewarding fundraising and volunteering events throughout the school year and is one of the most visible student organizations on campus. C4C is an integral part of the Haas orientation program, fall semester cohort competition, and key social programming throughout the year. All 500 full‐time MBA students at Haas are members of C4C. The majority of the funds raised and hours volunteered benefit our partner charities: Special Olympics, the Alameda Point Collaborative and Reading Partners. In the 2014‐15 school year, Haas students raised over $85,000 and volunteered over 4,000 hours at local charities. The C4C program culminates each year with a competition among the eight participating business schools. 1,300 MBA students spend a weekend competing in sports and games, and the program with the top fundraising, volunteer hours, and sports performance wins the coveted Golden Briefcase.

Opportunities for Sponsorship: Date Event Title Event Description Sponsorship Range
September 2015
Consulting Firm Night
The Consulting Club Firm Night is an outstanding event that allows MBA students to meet consulting industry professionals and learn about the various practice areas within each firm. Likewise, the firms have found our Firm Night to be an excellent opportunity to reach out to potential recruits for full‐time positions.
Approximately $500 ‐ $600
Fall 2015 and Spring 2016
Consulting Alumni Networking Event
A networking event to bring students and alumni together. It will help students reach out to alumni for career advice and coaching. There will be two opportunities to sponsor during the calendar year.
$1,000‐$5,000
Fall 2015 Industry Vertical or Function Practice Area Presentation
These presentations are opportunities for firms to present on their business in specific areas (e.g. tech, retail, financial services, private equity due diligence, etc.) to interested students. It can also be a presentation showcasing a specific engagement or client. We ask that you discuss your presentation topic with the Club Co‐Presidents in advance.
$1,000‐$5,000
Fall 2015 Coffee Chats
Coffee chats are a way for our students to learn about your firm in an informal setting. Firms typically hold coffee chats at cafes close to the Haas campus, and send one to three consultants to meet with groups of one to four students in 30‐minute sessions. The Haas Consulting Club can help promote coffee chat opportunities to students. The Club can also assist in coordinating virtual coffee chats, via phone and Skype, if it is more convenient for your firm’s practitioners.
N/A
Fall 2015 Mock Case or Behavioral Interview
Mock case interviews give our students an opportunity to practice cases in a more realistic setting than they might be able to find working with fellow students. They also enable firms to communicate how to think broadly about going through a case, and which specific points to make sure to emphasize. Firms that do not recruit interns may find mock case interviews a particularly valuable tool to build goodwill and brand recognition for full‐time recruiting. Mock behavioral interviews give students exposure to the type of behavioral questions they should be prepared to answer during interviews, and ensure that firms have high quality interview interactions with students. Similar to coffee chats, the Haas Consulting Club can assist in coordinating virtual mock case interviews if they are more convenient.

WINE CLUB
The Haas Wine Club is the premiere social club on campus. We bring together over 200 members of the Berkeley‐Haas community to form a network of students passionate about wine. We support a range of student interests, offering professional, academic, and social opportunities for students to further their careers, expand their horizons, and engage with their peers outside of the classroom. Our prime location in inimitable Northern California means that our students are frequently taking trips to wine country, and your sponsorship helps make your vineyard stand out from the crowd – and a likely destination for these events. Sponsoring Wine Club events will give you access to an incredibly diverse network of captive Haas MBAs, and consequently:
