It's Finally Friday!

And not only is it Friday, it is a three day weekend.

Today our MBA students are competing in round one of the Internship Showcase. All Walton MBA students do internships during the summer between their first and second semesters. Three hours of credit are earned. As part of their requirements, students design a poster and a presentation. This presentation is then performed in front of corporate judges. The top 6 then move on to the final round of competition. This will be held on Friday, September 11, 1:00-3:00 in the Willard J. Walker Auditorium.

On Monday, September 14 all students will attend a Networking event. This event is for all vendors who will be attending the Walton Business Career Fair on Tuesday, September 15th. During this Networking event, Walton MBA student posters will be showcased and potential employers will have the opportunity to discuss their internships with them.

Between the presentations and the Networking event, this is an opportunity for our students to catch the eye of a potential employer. Both the final round of competition and the Networking event are open to our newly admitted MBA students who will begin in January as well as any prospective MBA students who would like to observe these opportunities in order to get a feel for the Walton MBA. Please email me at gsb@walton.uark.edu if you plan to attend either event.

Enjoy your 3 day weekend. I know I will.
