Communit y2D elicia E. J o n esT uck’12the context ofcommunityI knew community would be something important to me at Tuck, but Ididn’t realize how easy it would be to feel welcome. When I first arrived on campus, I immediately sensed I had a family and a supportsystem. That gave me the confidence to try things I never would havedone, because I knew people wouldn’t laugh. My classmates taughtme to ski, and I became a captain on a hockey team, even though Inever skated before I got to Tuck. The friends I’ve made here havealso made it possible for me to take a job in Boston, a completelyforeign city to me. When I move there after graduation, I know I’llbe able to tap into a support system of Tuck alumni in the area.Hometown: Houston, Texas Prior Education: BA in computational and applied mathematics, RiceUniversity, 2005 Previous Employers: Deloitte Consulting, Houston, analyst, 2005–07, consultant,2007–09, senior consultant, 2009–10 Summer Internships: YES Prep Public Schools, Houston,Education Pioneers summer graduate fellow Honors and Achievements: Tuck Consortium Fellow,Tuck Centennial Award winner At Tuck: Diversity Conference co-chair, Association of Christians atTuck co-chair, women’s hockey co-captain, Tuck Admissions associate, Admitted Students Weekendregistration co-lead, Tuck GIVES logistics lead, Education Leadership Club Current Employment:Monitor Institute, Cambridge, Mass., senior consultanthow organizationsshould be

Leadership6Sophie Ro uxT uck’12What I was looking for from Tuck was more knowledge of myself andhow I tend to lead. Through the leadership curriculum, which includedsending surveys to my former supervisors and clients, I learnedthat I’m able to manage several counter-parties at the same time,and lead teams without pressuring people, but the downside is thatI lacked somewhat in assertiveness. This is something I wouldn’thave discovered on my own, and I’ve been able to work on it. Thereare endless opportunities for self-reflection and learning at Tuck,whether it’s in class, as part of a team in the First-Year Project, ina club, or just helping out the incoming students.Hometown: Toulouse, France Prior Education: BA in international finance and management,IMIP-MBAI, 2006 Previous Employers: UBS Financial Services, New York, financial adviserassistant, 2005; New Harbor Incorporated, New York, investment banking associate, 2006–10Summer Internships: JP Morgan, New York, investment banking Honors and Achievements: FortéFellow merit scholarship recipient, MBA Jumpstart Fellow, winner of UBS Third Annual InvestmentBanking Case Competition in New York At Tuck: Finance Club, The Glen Tuck Society, Tuck WineSociety, Dartmouth Energy Collaborative, Women in Business, tripod hockey, Tuck Follies CurrentEmployment: JP Morgan, New York, Associate–M&Aa moreconfidentleader
