Funding is everything for programs...

TRYING TO GET EXTRACURRICULARS ON FOR R1 The ideal is to have ECs that don’t immediately flag “I’m trying to get into b-school by doing this.” Choose something that is a natural extension of your experience or background. If you’re already into football/soccer - how about helping underprivileged children find the means to play soccer after school? Another option is to pick something aligned with your goal as stated in the application. And, if possible, pick something that will culminate in some observable/anecdotal or quantifiable positive impact. For example, a being on the board/committee of a fundraiser that takes place before your application deadline. Would ideally provide a good story that illustrates your character, and helps them get to know you as a person, if used for an essay or interview response.

🦸🏼♂️ COMMUNITY HERO! I can’t even begin to describe the incredible work that this guy does for his community. It comes as no surprise that Jon Radford is a finalist for the ‘Community Focus’ category at the BFA awards, as he makes such an incredible impact across his local area. Jon came on board with the FFF with a mission to make football fun for the city of Exeter and to give back to his local community. His emotional ties to where he lives has resulted in a community-led approach which has inadvertently supersized his business. It’s so true that when you give more than you receive, you tend to win. Jon and his wife Becky give their community so much value through community-based initiative and here’s a few examples: 👉🏻 Decreasing anti-social behaviour through free football sessions in a local park. 👉🏻 Organising for participants to be mascots at Exeter City football matches. 👉🏻 Sponsoring Exeter City women’s team. 👉🏻 Growing female participation by running girls only sessions. 👉🏻 Delivering HAF funded activities and hot meals for children eligible free school meals, in the school holidays. I could go on and list loads more, but there’s a character limit! Jon’s values and love for his community has driven his business success. This isn’t a business development strategy though, it’s pure passion for giving children and families opportunities. Congratulations and well done Jon! #CommunityFocus #Finalist #BFAHSBCUKAwards2024 #CommunityBusiness

🌞 🏖️ What does your summer reading list look like? I love to read and having streamlined my personal volunteer commitments, I’m taking some time to do what I love to do; read. One book was a gift (thank you David Cowen!), one is a result of a panel I’m speaking on at International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) ILTACON Corporate Legal Day and one was a personal choice. Tech, wit and wisdom, and personal sponsorship. I think that’s a healthy trifecta! 😊 What are you reading? 📖 📚 #leadership #sponsorship #legaltechnology
