As you can tell by the schedule, today is a work day for our new MMBA students. They will be working on a project in teams. Tomorrow these teams will present their work to judges from the Walton College and representatives from some of our corporate partners. This is a great networking opportunity for our students. It gives them a chance to show their stuff and meet new executives from other companies.
I also want to share some photos of the first 2 days of this 4 day Orientation extravaganza. These first 2 were taken first thing in the morning. They are preparing for the icebreaker. I get to do this and it is always fun. I enjoy getting to know our new students better and listening to them as they get to know each other.
These next 2 were shot in the classroom on day 1 and day 2. Not only are they learning about the GSB and their program, they are also in class during this Orientation.
We'll wrap up this photo montage with pics of last night's Social. This is a chance for our new students to relax and mingle outside of the classroom. Those in the MMBA program are only in class one Saturday each month. However, they are together for 2 years so they become quite close. This Orientation sets the tone for the next 2 years and these relationships are beginning to form. We feel it is important for them to have a chance to get to know each other in a social setting before they attend their first class on August 29.
