MBA Office Updates The summer term is officially underway and by the end of the first week, financial accounting will already be a quarter of the way done given they met three times this week! The fall schedule information will be out around June 4 and you will register around June 15th. Final tweaks are going in, but it is just about done!! For my students graduating in August, it sometimes is hard to get yourself geared up for this final semester, and each of you will have a moment where you are excited to graduate but have some bittersweet moments as you begin to reflect that the time with your classmates is counting down to August 12. It is very normal to have mixed feelings, but excitement about graduation usually prevails! Sports Analogies for Those Students That Like Them! I was listening to sports radio this morning and they were talking about golf, one of my favorite sports, and one of the guys said, every time you step up to hit the ball, it is a chance to do better! I thought, that is a great analogy for everyone entering summer term. Every class, every question, every paper, and every exam is a chance to do better than you did before, and like golf, you have lots of chances to build on things going well and make adjustments when things go a little haywire. Quote of the week-- By Jim Rohn “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” Darla returns from maternity leave on May 26 and we will be really glad to have her back! Please clean out your stuff from the fridge on the second floor by Friday, May 28th. If you do not clean it out before then, it will get thrown out. Thank you!

To purchase tickets or to learn about sponsorship opportunities for this event, please call 617-266-7534 x105 or email bostonevents@unicefusa.org About Anne Garrels Anne Garrels is a senior foreign correspondent for NPR's foreign desk. She covered Iraq under Saddam Hussein's regime and through the U.S. invasion and its aftermath, and earned international recognition in 2003 by being one of 16 U.S. journalists to remain in Baghdad during the U.S. bombing. Her vivid, around-the-clock reports from the city under siege gave listeners remarkable insight into the impact of the war and the challenges to come. Her experiences in Baghdad are chronicled in her book Naked in Baghdad (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, September 2003). Garrels, who first arrived in Iraq in 2002 under Saddam Hussein, led NPR's coverage there until 2008. Her reports anticipated and documented the sectarian violence; she traveled the country working independently as well as embedding with U.S. forces. Since September 11, 2001, Garrels has reported from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East. Before covering the Middle East, she concentrated on the former Soviet Union and its successor states for many years. Garrels has put a human face on conflict, combining experience in the field with a sharp understanding of the policy debates in Washington.
