The Kevins
We at the CCC make no excuses for our partiality towards those with popular names. For us, Kevin is no exception. Kevin is a name of Irish and Gaelic origin, meaning “handsome beloved.” How amazing that the wisdom of antiquity still holds so true today. Here, for your benefit, four of our favorite handsome Kevins expound on their best class participation strategies.

Checking in from Spain, an Enchanted Land of Late Nights and Early Mornings
There are some good things about being in Spain and one of them is the ‘kiss hello.’ This is a great way to greet people; it’s warm and endearing and I’ve become a huge fan. Sadly, I’m also getting the sense that some of my new classmates are getting tired of me ‘saying hello’ five times a day, but that’s neither here nor there.
Another unique thing about Barcelona is the nightlife. The IESE version of TNDC usually starts around 1am and goes strong until 5am or even later.

Tell Me More About...
The old class participation game has really started to take on some predictable, tiresome characteristics these days. I imagine this is true for the first years who are now used to grown humans grunting and extending their hands wildly, stiff-jointed, into the air for the chance at some airtime; it is especially true for the second years who have endured more than twice as much of the routine.
There are a few points and turns of phrase I could do without for the rest of my life. And I confess

Of Conversations and Chit-Chats
At Darden we do a lot of talking. All the time. With everybody. Everywhere.
In classes; over free donut holes during First Coffee; in the hallways; over sandwiches at Café 67; in learning team rooms; while walking back to Ivy and of course at TNDC – though that’s seldom meaningful. The settings are different. And so are the people.
In class, I am, what I would like to call, a moderate talker. You would never find me set a class on fire. But I talk on and off. At times a few nodding heads tel

Baby Please Don’t Go
There was a time, not long ago, when the Super Bowl was a ho-hum affair with uneven scores and little tension. Mention Steelers-Seahawks (XL), Buccaneers-Raiders (XXXVII), or Ravens-Giants (XXXV) and even the most hardcore fan might struggle to name the defining moment. But the last three NFL championships have dramatically improved the game’s lopsided reputation. This year’s event between the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts did not disappoint, and was probably the best Super

Cornering the Elective Market
“Buy the dips sell the rips” – the Wall Street maxim on how to make money also holds for navigating second year course selection. As third quarter winds down and first-year students are introduced to second year electives, I wanted to offer a strategy for adding desirable courses after the bid process. Inevitably some first-years will be disappointed by the bid system, but need not despair – you can enroll in any second year elective by following the below methodology.
