A Message from Sigrid

 

Good morning!

 

Here we are at the last week of the academic year! With final tests and deliverables coming due, I know you will all be busy but remember to take time to connect with your classmates, instructors, and staff before you go!

 

This is also your last newsletter for this academic year. There will be one newsletter that comes out over the summer (to the Class of 2019) so watch for that. The MBA Program Office will be open all summer. See below for our office hours and know that you can still make appointments to meet Program Office staff.

 

Also, please remember to complete the End-of-Year Survey that Dan Poston sent out to you last week (links below). The information you provide is very important for helping us develop program changes and improvements. We also invite you to make an appointment to come and see us to talk about your experience, sometimes there is more to say than what you can easily write down.

Class of 2019 survey link:  https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/mbacore/354682

 

Have a great last week!
