Hello Class of 2020!

It is my honour to be your photographer for your first professional headshot as a Rotman MBA student! In order to help me help you look the best in your photo, please:

  • be on time
  • prep your appearance before you arrive! (I will have a mirror but it’s very small)
  • relax! Whether you’d prefer a candid smiling shot or a serious-looking, big boss shot – that’s completely up to you! But no matter what you go for, the more relaxed you are, the better you will look!
  • feel free to use your own poses if you have anything in mind – if not I will be more than happy to guide you or give you some inspiration
  • let me know if there is an angle (ie. left or right) that you prefer
  • before you enter, there will be a laptop where you must register your FULL NAME and SECTION #. There will also be an optional section to input any notes you might have. Please register in the order you enter the room
  • there will be markings on the ground where you should stand
    I will take a few photos during your turn. However, to maximize efficiency, I will be choosing the best one for you to edit and deliver

I apologize in advance if we do not get too much time to chat. If you are interested, I would be more than happy to formally meet you another time! Looking forward to seeing all of you!

Best,
Nick Fang

Leveraging Diverse Teams Course: Social Style Analysis

Posted on by

“Dear Class of 2020,

One of the goals of LDT is to help you gain insight into your personal style of interacting with other people so that you can be a more effective team member. To learn more about your interaction style, you will be completing a Social Style and Versatility Assessment. Students over many years have found this exercise insightful and of great personal benefit. To that end, we are asking that you complete the assessment by August 15th so that we can debrief the results during class the week of August 20th. 

Next week (week of July 16th), you’ll be receiving instructions about how to complete this assessment. Please keep an eye out for two emails: one email from your course instructors with details about what the assessment involves and an email from Tracom Learning, the company that administers this assessment. The instructions will also be posted on the pre-program portal, but please add our email addresses, as well as admin@maxproddata1.tracom.com, to your “safe senders” list to ensure they don’t wind up in your Junk Folder. We look forward to seeing you soon at Rotman!”
