Our academic programs offer rigorous, applied, management education designed for women. We focus on leadership, and our programs integrate the strategic, functional, and behavioral aspects of management.

MBA Office Updates It has been a reasonably quiet week in the MBA Program this week and the last round of electives start on Thursday. You are entering week 5 next week, which means that some deliverables and tests are around the corner! As you know from my note last week about staff reductions at the SOM, one of the implications is a potential change in services. You will receive a Zoomerang survey from our office, (Paula) asking you to help us figure out what the changes might involve. For those of you that have worked with us over the years, we try and run all major changes that will affect students through either the Student Advisory Council or by gathering info at track meetings. We have also heard that students are happy to fill out quick surveys to give us feedback, so in lieu of a track meeting I am experimenting with the concept of broader student feedback through Zoomerang!! Look for it on Friday or Monday at the latest! “You are at this moment standing right in the middle of your own “acres of diamonds.”-- Earl Nightingale “You've got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing."-- Arthur Ashe
Schedule Updates for Next Week Ethics and International Finance both start next Thursday, June 18 Markstrat Simulation runs all next weekend No Strategy class on Tuesday, June 16. Please click on this link to take a survey for the Marketing Club! They'd appreciate any feedback you can give them! http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/survey-intro.zgi?p=WEB22998KGW65L&store=1
