MBA Office Updates I am not sure that we could have had a more perfect weather pattern for your mini summer semester break over the 4th of July, and hope you all had a great few days off! Now you have to gear up for the back half of the semester! Graduating students really need to focus on this last month and not move into the checkout lane before August 4th! Everyone else has electives, finance, accounting, etc that really need you to focus and concentrate. I know it is hard because it is summer, but it is worth it! Note to August Graduating Students Quick meeting before Strategy on Tuesday, July 13 from 5:15-5:50pm to talk about the reception and class gift! Please return your ballots for class speaker and the Pat Miller award as soon as you can! Sports Analogy for Those That Like Them Maria Clark gave me a golf analogy for her cohort, which is the 3.5 yr cohort! She has just taken up golf as a new sport! "It-might take-you-forever-to-get-through-but-keep-plugging-along, 3.5yr program students. At least we’re on course and shooting straight – it will just take a little longer to get to that darned flag!" “It seems safe to say that significant discovery, really creative thinking, does not occur with regard to problems about which the thinker is lukewarm.” — Mary Henle Katlyn, Paula, and Darla are all around for anything you need! Back half of Project Management is this weekend! Concentration Info - Entrepreneurship: CORRECTION Mahlet Woldemariam Won an Award! Mahlet Woldemariam was awarded the 2009 Development Leader Award which is awarded annually by the Global Vaccines Development Team! Congrats! Order your Fall Semester T-Pass August Graduates |

Sadly, it could have been prevented if the managers involved had been more level-headed. But now that the mistakes have been made, what lessons can we learn? http://www.management-issues.com/2010/6/14/opinion/management-lessons-from-the-gulf-disaster.asp Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg Is Embracing the End of Email, Here's
Why "If you want to know what people like us will do tomorrow, you look at what teenagers are doing today," Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg told the audience at Nielsen's Consumer 360 conference yesterday. And according to Sandberg, only 11% of teens email daily--clearly, a huge generational drop. |
