TESTIMONIALS ON WHY OUR MEMBERS JOINED SCF
“Although I already had a
strong church home before coming to MIT Sloan, I was glad to find a fellowship
that was willing to explore issues of business and faith. I had a great
first year in SCF - square dancing with the likes of Miss America at the
IVCF fall retreat, meeting luminaries such as Dennis Bakke,
CEO of AES Corp and author of “Joy at Work”, chatting with Alec Hill,
President of IVCF, and of course, hanging out with some awesome second
years and IVCF staff!”
“I
had casually signed up for SCF during Clubfest but
little did I know that it would do more for me than any other organization.
Once the core and recruiting were underway I totally got caught up, trying
to make sure that I got the most out of MIT while trying to keep my head
above water, academically. In late October I strolled into my first meeting
and I wished I had started going earlier. As next generation leaders,
business school will expose you to many tests from personal relationships
to the lure of power and money. The SCF meetings provided a break in all
the noise and gave me a compass to constantly remember who I was and what I
stood for”
“I loved my SCF
experience! I was active in a church as well, but this was different. This
was about learning from classmates in similar positions and facing similar
issues regarding the integration of one's faith and vocation. It was great
to build strong and deep friendships with classmates that I'll carry
forward throughout my life. These are people on whom I will always be able
to call for advice on faith/workplace implications. I'll take numerous
lessons forward from SCF, including a better understanding of the roles
that a Christian business leader might play and what it might mean to be a
Christian manager - and these lessons weren't what I expected. For example, think about this question:
Would Jesus fire someone, and if so, how? Come to
SCF to discuss it!”
