Happy New Year

The University was closed Friday, December 23 through Monday, January 2. I spent Tuesday and Wednesday catching up on email. This is a very exciting and busy time for us at the Graduate School of Business.

On the Student Services side, we have MBA Orientation next week. Orientation is Monday, January 9 through Friday, January 13. This is one of my favorite times of year. We are expecting 44 students. Many of them I have met, but there are also several others I have not yet had the privilege of meeting. I greatly enjoy meeting the students I have been emailing and corresponding with for so long. This is a busy, fun-filled week. I'll post more details and pictures as the week progresses.

On the Admissions side, our first of many application deadline is approaching. The PhD deadline is January 15th. Walton has PhD's in Accounting, Economics, Finance, Information Systems, Management, Marketing, and Supply Chain. The first round of admissions decisions will go out mid-February.

The Master of Information Systems deadline is February 1. You can find the complete list of our application requirements at http://gsb.uark.edu/admissions.asp. Those who apply by the program deadlines are eligible for funding. Information about the funding available can be found at http://gsb.uark.edu/finaid.asp.

Tomorrow night is a big night for the Razorbacks. We play Kansas State in the Cotton Bowl. GO HOGS!
