GRADUATING STUDENTS
Graduation Ticket Distribution
You may now pick-up your graduation guest tickets for the MBA Graduation Ceremony at the front desk of the MBA Office. If you are unable to come to the MBA Office yourself to pick up tickets, you may have a friend pick up your tickets provided they bring a printed e-mail message from you authorizing them to get those tickets. We will not distribute tickets without such an approval. Linda Bruen will be in the MBA Lounge from 12:30-1:30 on the following dates to distribute tickets: Mon., May 21; Thurs., May 24; and Wed., May 30. Please contact Linda Bruen if you need to make alternative arrangements to get your tickets. IMPORTANT: Lost tickets cannot be replaced and should be treated like cash! If you no longer need all the tickets that were allocated to you, or if you want to be placed on the wait list for additional tickets, e-mail Barby Pearson.
Benchmarking Survey Reminder for Full-time MBA Program
On May 19th, graduating full-time students should have received a reminder to complete the Educational Benchmarking (EBI) Survey. This is an important tool for assessing our program and comparing it to other schools across the country. Often in the past, data from this survey has been used to support making changes in the program, so we want to encourage you to participate and complete the survey honestly and completely. We know that you have been asked to complete a lot of surveys lately, but ask that you help us to continue to improve our program by completing this one as well.
