A Message from Kara
The Foster community has been busy these past few weeks! From participating in On-Campus Recruiting interviews, to the MBAA Elections for Class of 2020 rep and Honor Council member, to prepping for mid-terms, attending the Halloween TG, and the Husky Football Huddle. Thank you to all of the student leaders who help organize these events and programs. It was great to see all of your costumes and school spirit via the photos posted to the FB class pages.
Good luck on any remaining interviews and on mid-terms! Remember to prepare, breathe deep, seek help and advice, and manage your time.
Best,
Kara Fichthorn
Director - Evening MBA Student Affairs
 High-Priority 
Class of 2018:
□Thank you for submitting your Honor Code Forms!
Class of 2019:
□You are required to meet with Kara over the phone or in-person by January 12, 2018 for advising to help you plan for electives, bidding, and your third year in the program. Schedule an appointment today!
Class of 2020:
□The Finance diagnostic test will go live on Friday, November 3. If you take the diagnostic test and score above 80% then you have tested out of the Finance Jump Start class. You can also forgo the diagnostic test, and just register for the Finance Jump Start class meeting on December 16 & 17, 2017 (8:30am-4pm). The majority of first-year students take the Finance Jump Start class regardless of diagnostic test results. If you have a conflict, reach out to Kara immediately for self-study options. Note: self-study is not the preferred method of preparation.
