Stacy is going to Ireland!

Our MBA student, Stacy Carty, is preparing to leave for her internship in Dublin. To read about her adventures, visit her blog at: http://stacycarty.blogspot.com/. Stacy is our first MBA student to participate in an internship abroad. As part of a new partnership, each year, beginning this year, an MBA student from the Walton College will be selected to take part in the Global Experience internship. This year, Stacy was the student chosen, and the destination is Dublin. I know I can't wait to read about her experiences.

I also want to share this great news from our Information Systems department.
The team from the University of Arkansas was ranked #1 (out of 41 teams from 20 universities worldwide) in the qualifying round for the 3rd International ERPsim Competition. This team is composed of 3 Professional MIS students who recently completed our ERP Certificate curriculum as part of their graduate degree program. The final competition will be held on Saturday, June 20 at 9:00 AM Central in Montreal, and will be covered live via twitter. For more info go to http://erpsim.hec.ca/competition.

ERP Certificate - Possible Second Summer Session!

Last month, the first class in our new ERP certificate program, ERP Fundamentals, began. This class is going very well and we have received enough additional interest that we are considering offering another ERP Fundamentals class beginning in July!

If you are interested in starting the ERP Certificate program this summer, there is still time to apply - if we receive enough applications, we will be able to repeat the first class so that you can continue in the fall and spring with the next ERP courses.

You can apply online at: https://www.waltoncollege.uark.edu/qp/gsb_app.asp. Please submit your application ASAP to be considered for the summer class, and help us spread the word to others who may be interested. To learn more about the program, visit: http://gsb.uark.edu/944.asp.
