October is a very busy month in graduate admissions. I have made recruiting trips to the University of Arkansas - Pine Bluff and the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith. On October 31, Halloween, I will be at Arkansas Tech University.
I was also able to go to the part-time MBA conference in Atlanta. It was very nice to reconnect with colleagues from other institutions.
This Thursday, October 25 we will host an information session in Rogers at the Arkansas World Trade Center at 5:30. The focus will be Walton's part-time MBA and the program director will be in attendance.
An Open House will be held on Thursday, November 1 at 5:30 in 403 Willard J. Walker Hall on the University of Arkansas campus. This event is for all those interested in a master's degree at the Walton College. Program directors will be in attendance. The Open House will be followed by a Social. The Social is for all current, former, and prospective Walton grad students. Faculty are also invited to attend. The Social gives our prospective students the opportunity to meet current students. It also gives our alumni a chance to catch up with each other and chat with their old (as in former and not in age) faculty members.
This is the time corporate recruiting begins as well. Corporate visits are made to recruit for the two Walton part-time programs - MBA and MIS. Walmart's ISD was visited last week. In two weeks I'll be visiting Unilever. I am also in the process of scheduling a visit it UAMS in Little Rock.
The fall semester is really flying by. I can't believe it'll be November next week. There is still so much to do before we leave for the holiday break.
We are still accepting domestic applications for the MBA program that will begin in January. Please visit http://gsb.uark.edu/admissions.asp for the complete list of our application requirements. We currently have 8-10 seats still available.
Email any questions to gsb@walton.uark.edu.
