You Must Read the Student Blogs
If you haven't been keeping up the the Walton MBA student blogs, now is the perfect time to catch up. They have exciting news to share. All three have been very busy and the two who are graduating write about their jobs! YES, THEY HAVE JOBS. Graduation is in 5 weeks. I have added a new student blogger, Tammy Lippert. Tammy is a first year student who joins us after finishing her law degree. These blogs provide unique insight into the program. Students talk about their classes, graduate assistantships, internships, guest speakers, corporate visits, trips, etc. They tell it like it is. If you want the insider's perspective, check them out. The links are found on the right hand side of my blog.
In 2010, Walton full-time MBA students were 83% employed AT GRADUATION. This was #1 in the nation. In 2012, our fantastic and amazing students were 86% employed at graduation. We fell slightly to #2. We are still very proud. Three months after graduation, the class was 91% employed! These findings are in the new US News & World Report Best Business Graduate Schools rankings. None of this would be possible without the tireless efforts of the Walton Career Center. Visit them at: http://waltoncollege.uark.edu/career/.
The early decision deadline for the full and part-time MBA was Monday, April 2. However, the committee is not scheduled to meet until the 20th. Therefore, all files completed by the 16th will be reviewed. This gives you a few more days to submit materials. You can find a convenient list of our application requirements at http://gsb.uark.edu/admissions.asp.
Now let's talk about the weather. I absolutely, without a doubt, love this time of year in Fayetteville. The trees are green, flowers are blooming, and it's perfect "sittin' on the deck" weather. In fact, I am meeting a friend after work today to do just that. It's been in the 70's and lower 80's. For me, it doesn't get much better. I even took my kids to the river on Sunday. The water was a little cool but it was sunny and warm, perfect for me to sit in my chair with my feet in the water and a good book. And it is grilling time. Nothing smells better than steaks cooking outside on the grill.
Prom is next weekend. My 14 year old freshman daughter has been invited and is going. That's another story for another post. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and be sure to enjoy this beautiful weather.
