Being a Berkeley Board Fellow on the board of Rebuilding Together, an organization that rebuilds homes for low-income homeowners, has given Matt McLeggon valuable insight into the governance of nonprofits. Such information may prove helpful since he would like to someday launch a similar organization of his own. According to McLeggon, being at Haas offers endless opportunities like this to learn new things.
"The clubs are a great way to explore subjects while you are still taking core classes. You can try out a field that might interest you without a big commitment. That's how I got involved in the Digital Media and Entertainment, Marketing, and Technology clubs."
"Our goals for the Black Business Students Association are to be visible on campus, to contribute our point of view to campus life, and to work with the Admissions Office to increase our presence in the program."
"I've learned that there is a methodology to innovation. It's not something you can leave to chance."
