A moment of silence

The graduate lounge is alternating between frantic and calm. Between the basket of Doritos and granola bars, two MBA students and fellow International Tech Strategy Committee members catch up on emails. Another student takes advantage of a few moments of silence to nap under her coat in a tiny chair. There are water bottles and coffee cups strewn about. And it’s so quiet you could hear a pin drop. At least it will be for another ten minutes or so, when the third round of case presentations comes to a close.

Akshay Shah, MS.MBA ’12, comments on the quiet, “It’s a moment of solidarity for the teams presenting right now. Or a moment of mourning, we’re not sure yet,” he jokes with another volunteer.
