Blog Archive Beyond the MBA Classroom Consumption Functions at Haas When you select an MBA program, you are not just choosing your learning environment, but are also committing to becoming part of a community. Each Thursday, we offer a window into life “beyond the MBA classroom” at a top business school. Held in the courtyard of UC Berkeleys Haas School of Business, Consumption Functions take place five times a semester and are sponsored by various student organizations in conjunction with the MBA Association. Clubs who wish to host a Consumption Function provide music, food and alcohol (the total cost of which is typically matched by the MBA Association), as well as a crew for setup, cleanup and crowd control.   Running from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday evenings, each Consumption Function typically has a theme, such as a chili cook-off or a celebration of the Chinese New Year, and is free to all Haas students, faculty and their families (even dogs!). The International Consumption Function celebrates the diversity of Haas’s student body, as students set up tables of traditional food from their home countries and regionsâ€"including Boston and Texas!
