MIT Sloan Student Becomes New Cambridge City Councilor-Elect
Hey all, this will be a pretty quick post, but I wanted to write to tell you about a pretty interesting guy I know. Leland Cheung is a Stanford alum who I met in Boston a few years ago. We were both board members for the Stanford Club of New England and hosted a few alumni events together around the city. He’s currently in the dual MBA/MPP program at MIT Sloan and the Harvard Kennedy School, but recently decided to run for City Council in Cambridge. Just last week he became the City Councilor- Elect, which is pretty great news.
Leland offers a pretty different perspective than most city council members. He’s currently a student, worked as an entrepreneur and venture capitalist, and also relatively new in returning to Cambridge which gives him a fresh perspective on things. I also think his success so far is great proof of just how strong and versatile the MBA degree is. While most graduate degrees out there tend to be a bit more field specific, an M.B.A., especially from a top school, can often open up a wide variety of career options.
