First of five Orientations is now underway

Today is the Walton Graduate School of Business' first Orientation. All new incoming students for fall participate in an Orientation session. This is our chance to meet our new students and it gives them a chance to get to know each other before classes start. We are also getting rid of all of those fun housekeeping tasks like registering for classes, filling out paperwork, getting parking permits, student IDs, etc. Orientation signals the close of summer and means fall semester is about to start. Today's session is for Master of Arts in Economics, PhD Economics, PhD Accounting, and PhD Finance.

Our next Orientation will be on Monday, August 10 and it will be for Master of Information Systems and Professional MIS.

I just had to share this photo. I know it's a little hard to see but this is what happens when little boys try to pop wheelies on their scooters while riding without their helmet. He did a face plant on the concrete. This was taken this morning. He was not this calm last night right after if happened.

I should also comment on So You Think You Can Dance. Tonight two more dancers will be sent home leaving four for the finale. Next week we will have a new champ. I am cheering for Brandon. It looks like I won't have to wait until next summer for the next season; season 6 will now begin either this fall or winter.
