Busy Day Yesterday

Tyson brought their interns in information systems for a campus visit yesterday. Eight students participated from University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, New Mexico State University, Abilene Christian University, University of Texas-Pan American, and Grambling State University. I led them on a tour of the University; they were able to meet the program directors for the Walton part-time MBA and part-time MIS and had a nice lunch at Ella's Restaurant.

Ella's is a very nice restaurant located on the University of Arkansas campus. It is located in Carnall Hall. Carnall Hall was once a women's dormitory in the early 1900's. It then spent time as a fraternity house. A few years ago it was renovated into an Inn. Hospitality majors here at the UofA manage the Inn and Restaurant. This is a great opportunity for them and it's wonderful to have this resource on campus. If you come for a visit, it's a great place to stay.

I was very glad that this groups was able to visit while they were spending their summer interning at Tyson. In the next few weeks, they will be heading back to their respective Universities to finish their bachelor's degrees. Maybe they'll decide to pursue their master's degree at the Walton College.
