We are welcoming our new full and part-time Master of Information Systems students to the University of Arkansas today. The new Walton full-time students began their day this morning and the part-time students will join us for lunch. The agenda looks like this:

The full-time students will have additional sessions Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Master of Accountancy Orientation is tomorrow and Wednesday. This week is very busy for us and it is also very exciting. This is when enrollments are finalized and we know for sure who is attending. This is also when I find out if enrollment goals were met. Fingers crossed.
To follow up on my last post, I had a very nice weekend with my friend from Tulsa. I am also glad to have my daughter back. School starts on Thursday for children in this area. Students were moving in on-campus this weekend. There is chaos and excitement in the air. It is "back to school" time for everyone.
