H@H: Ep 50 – Gillian Chu joins host, Paulina Lee on this week’s episode of Here@Haas. Gillian shares about her journey growing up and working in different countries and making the cross-country move from NYC to SF. She discusses her passion for Haas and why she wanted to get involved as the EW MBA Association Co-President and the legacy she hopes to leave.The legacy that Gillian hopes she and the executive team hope to leave:“I'd like us to introduce new types of programming. New types of events and new types of ways to bring people together. I want to make sure that we're being as inclusive as possible as we can, because I think there's a huge range of personalities and types of people in the EW program.”What she’s learned about Haas:“One of the things I've enjoyed learning most about Haas has been when you let your guard down with people and you admit that you don't have a strong suit in something, you're not an expert and you're just here to learn, and you're curious to learn more.How enthusiastically everybody jumps in to try and help you and how there is zero judgment that comes to admitting that you don't know how to tackle the homework, or you need a little help and explanation...And that to me really defines the Confidence Without Attitude defining leadership principle at Haas.”Her advice for the newest class of Haasies:“I think my advice would revolve around being curious, not being afraid to ask questions, not being afraid to tap somebody on the shoulder and introduce yourself to them...Don't be afraid to let your guard down and don't be afraid to admit you don't know something and you want to learn more because sometimes the professor will help you out. But most often it's your classmates who are really gonna open your eyes, and support you as you go through Haas.” ResourcesDiversity SymposiumRecipes:Sticky Rice DumplingsTurnip CakeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/here-at-haas/donations
