Introducing Guest Blogger Katy Moyer


It is my pleasure to welcome my first guest blogger, Katy Moyer. Katy is getting her second degree here at Cornell. Although one of the youngest members of this AMBA class, she has proved to be such a leader that we elected her to be our representative on the Johnson School Student Council along with Pat Collopy. Since elected, Katy and Pat have brought many of AMBA-specific concerns to the attentions of the Dean and other leaders of the Johnson School. After the fall semester started, they organized several social and career events to help the AMBA class network with students in the two-year program. Last Thursday's "Know Your AMBA Colleagues" Sage Social was a big hit among all students and staff members. We all had fun chewing down delicious food and playing a game of "AMBA Human Bingo". I attached the bingo cards at the end of the blog. You can see what a wonderful and fun bunch we are. Oh, by the way, Katy is an excellent golfer!

Hi everyone! My one minute bio: I’m originally from North Carolina and have a degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell. Before coming to business school I was working for a company in Cape Cod in Massachusetts which designed and built underwater robots to map the ocean floor. I’m coming back to business school to learn how to speed robotic technology development in the defense industry. I want to get robots out of the lab and into the field to save human lives. In addition to playing with robots, I love playing golf and volleyball preferably on or near a beach. Patrick and I are very excited about representing the fantastic AMBA group in student council. We’re currently focusing on getting the group fully exposed to the two year students including those who comprise the bulk of our marvelous 2010 class! We are cooking up some creative plans for the fall. Hopefully you’ll hear about them through Alex soon!
