Tuesday was the second day in a week of orientation, a morning devoted to the “Building Connections Workshop.” James H. Dressed in uniforms of navy pants or skirts, yellow shirts and navy ties, the children arrived just as the MBA students were finishing up a series of exercises. The “little guys” were from the Global Scholars Academy, a Durham K-8 charter school for children from disadvantaged neighborhoods. “It was nice that they brought in the little guys,” Kevin Fletcher agreed. To fit in with 10 MBA students when you’re 4-foot-5 is amazing.” “I had no idea that the kids were going to show up,” said Christine Shaner. That last part, perhaps the best part of the day’s team-building exercises, came as a pleasant surprise for the Carolina students. But Tuesday’s orientation session at the Blue Zone at Kenan Stadium also included a wacky game to remember the 13 colonies, frequent shouts of “Fantastic,” assembling 30 children’s bikes and meeting the kids who will be riding them. The morning started with a lecture by a business school professor, as most mornings will start once the latest 282 incoming full-time MBA students begin taking classes at Carolina later this month.
