Wrapping up the semester

Finals began on Saturday and will end Friday, May 13th. Hopefully our students are not overly superstitious. The University Commencement will be held Saturday, May 14. Walton Commencement is that afternoon, at 12:30. This is a busy week for our students. The Graduate School of Business hosts a graduation party on Friday, May 13th. I enjoy these end of year festivities. The students are giddy with excitement and their families are pretty happy too.

In other news, our two teams competing in small business plan competitions this semester are featured in the May 23 issue of Fortune magazine. cycleWood finished 4th at the Rice University competition and TiFiber finished 6th. A record 510 plans were submitted this year. Forty two are then selected to compete. Two Walton teams finished in the top 6!
