Yesterday was a very busy day in the GSB. I was in Fort Smith at a Career Fair. I had a great visit to the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith and was able to talk to several promising prospects. Last night, Dr. Ellstrand and I hosted an Information Session in Rogers. We were able to meet some great master's candidates and the evening was a success.
Also last night, Marion (our Assistant Dean) and Deb (my counterpart in student services) hosted an etiquette dinner for our full-time MBAs. The purpose of this even is to assist our students with proper behavior during a business dinner. They cover things like how to network, which utensils to use, how you should eat soup and bread(did you know there was a specific way?), etc. This is important because we want our students to perform well socially as well as academically.
Other upcoming events include the Walton College International Graduate Logistics Case Competition, October 22-24. Our team includes Stacy Carty, Michael Novak, Liz Slape, Terryn Weygandt, Ujjwala Darvemula, and Brant Simpkins. For more information about this competition, visit http://scmr.uark.edu/130.asp?article=727. Our team placed third last year.
On October 23 we will host an Open House and Social. The Open House will be at 5:30 in 403 Willard J. Walker Hall and the Social will be 6-9 at Powerhouse. If you are unable to attend, you can participate in the webinar at: http://ice.waltoncollege.uark.edu/mediasite/Viewer/?peid=7cfb9a87c74f466b966d0ba6f92729f8.
Next Tuesday I will be at the University of Central Oklahoma.
