Today is Orientation for our PhD students in Accouting, Economics, and Finance, as well as Master of Arts in Economics. These students get started a little earlier than the other PhD students. They are required by their Departments to take a Math class prior to the beginning of their first semester. This class starts on Monday and runs for three weeks. Our other Orientations are as follows:
MMBA - August 5-8
MIS and Professional MIS - August 16
MAcc - August 17 & 18
PhD - Information Systems, Management, Marketing - August 19
Fall classes begin on Monday, August 23.
I will be out of the office tomorrow. My family is going to Devil's Den for the weekend. Devil's Den is located very near Fayetteville; it's only about 20 miles away. They have a beautiful camp ground, hiking trails, caves, cabins, swimming pool, canoes, and paddle boats. It is very hot out so we are not camping. We have a cabin. My kids are very excited. You can check out the Devil's Den website at http://www.arkansasstateparks.com/devilsden/.
I'll be back in the office on Monday. Next week will be a bit insane since we have MMBA Orientation beginning on Thursday and we are still admitting students to this class. This is our largest group of students. We are currently expecting 58 students and I have 3 more students who are testing this week in hopes of being admitted. Once this groups is finalized, I'll share their stats.

New economics doctoral students should definitely check out the phd economics website which has some useful information about the job market, salaries, etc.
