ICR conference wraps up
Dr. Sheikha Abdulla Al-Misnad gave keynote address
The Fourth Conference on International Corporate Responsibility met in Doha Nov. 16-18 at Sharq Village. Qatar Foundation, Carnegie Mellon Qatar and Carnegie Bosch Institute sponsored the meeting. Previous conferences in the series met in Pittsburgh (2002), Amsterdam (2004) and Hong Kong (2006).
President Dr. Sheikha Abdulla Al-Misnad, President of Qatar University, gave a keynote address that outlined the responsibilities of corporations for supporting educational experiences that are key to business success.
The ICR conference is based on the theme that responsible business decisions today must take a global view that is sensitive to political, economic and cultural differences. This year’s conference included a business panel discussion on the topic ‘Meeting the Challenges of ICR - A Managerial Panel.’
The panel consisted of R. Seetharaman, CEO of Doha Bank; Brian Meilleur, President and COO of Al Wa'ab City; Mazen Issa Dauleh, Executive Director for Group Strategy at Qatar Telecom; and Michael Webb, Managing Director of Financial Sector Development and Policy for Qatar Financial Centre Authority.
Alumni Association holds first event
Fifteen Carnegie Mellon Qatar alumni came back to campus to host the "08 Answers: So Come with Questions" panel on Nov. 19. The alumni were eager to reconnect with their college friends and share their real-world work experiences and career advice with the upperclassmen. And current students were interested in learning about work schedules, Qatarization and internships. The event proved to be a great networking opportunity for both alumni and students.
The Alumni Association coordinated the event in partnership with the Alumni Career Networking & Mentor Program established by the Office of Professional Development. The newly formed Alumni Association hopes this event will be just the beginning in continuing their service to their alma mater.
