My name is Martin Lenon and I am a junior (Class of 2010) Business Administration major with a dual-concentration in Entrepreneurship and Finance. I have completed two co-ops at State Street Corporation and at Kensington Investment Company, which have allowed me to gain real world experience and build a professional network. I am from Cincinnati, OH. I enjoy basketball, snowboarding, golf, and photography.

At Northeastern, I'm involved with Barkada (NU's Filipino Student Organization) serving as Treasurer on the executive board. I also serve as program coordinator for the Asian American Students in Action (AASIA) Peer-Mentoring Program after being a peer-mentor for the past two years.

School's out for summer!

Summer session is really kicking in. Most people have gone home and campus is definitely a bit quieter these days. But, all is well. I actually really like summers in Boston. Most of my friends are still here, either on coop or in class. We get real chill time because we don't have Barkada events to plan, and we get to know each other more. The university does a good job accommodating students who stay for the summer too. They have this "Summester" program where the school provides special programs and discounts to events around Boston. There are some real good deals to take yoga classes, see the Blue Man Group, go on a Duck Tour, see musicals, visit Martha's Vineyard, etc... The gym at Marino Center is not as packed too, so that's another plus.

Another good thing about summer session is that it's a sign that I have only a month and a half left in my coop! Even though I love being on coop and getting that hands on experience, it'll be very nice to be done and be able to get out during the day to enjoy the sun. My coop experience has been amazing these past few months. I think I made the right decision to come back to KIC to learn more about the real estate industry. I've learned a lot, not only about property accounting and real estate, but also about management and business strategies. Being in the same work place during good and bad economic times has really opened my eyes to how a particular business works, and how fast things can change. By observing different management decisions, I feel that I'm better prepared for the future and running a team of my own.

I'll see what events I can go to that's part of this Summester deal. I'll update you on what happens!
