A Message from Kara
Congratulations to the Class of 2020 for making it through mid-terms!
And now, it’s time to plan for the winter quarter which begins on January 3, 2018 and ends on March 16, 2018. Take the time to review the academic calendar and if you are in the Class of 2020 don’t forget that you will attend your final MGMT 510: eLEAD class on Sunday, March 25 from 8:30am – 4:30pm in Anthony’s Forum. This is a mandatory component of the program and being 30-minutes late or more will result in a make-up assignment.
Winter quarter class schedules will be sent to all students on November 21. Please review your schedule, and reach out if you have any questions or concerns. You will be officially registered for classes the week of November 27 and so there is still time to make changes if needed.
Best,
Kara Fichthorn
Director - Evening MBA Student Affairs
