We’re raising a glass to an exciting year ahead! This fall, join us for Thirsty Thursday on October 29 with WMBAA, plus two other events in the works. It's not on Questrom Common yet, but it will be soon.
Also, we started the year with an amazing turnout at the Graduate Club Fair and were thrilled to welcome so many new members to the Questrom Tastings community! Meet our 2026–2027 Board below, and join our WhatsApp group to stay connected and hear about upcoming events first.
With tremendous thanks,
Questrom Tastings
Leadership Team
Lauren Zabel, President
Hi all! I’m Lauren, and I’m excited to help lead Questrom Tastings this year. Originally from California, I moved to Boston to pursue my Part-Time MBA at Questrom after building my career in early-talent recruiting and program management across the tech industry. Outside of school and work, I love traveling, women’s soccer, and a ticketed event. I’m looking forward to building an inclusive community and creating a fantastic year of tastings, cultural exploration, and culinary adventures across Boston!

I’m looking forward to a fantastic year tasting and exploring the best of what Boston has to offer!
