Welcome to the MBA Association's Website!

A message from the President....

Dear Foster MBA Class of 2011,

Welcome to an incredibly exciting & challenging 2 years. I am confident that you will look back on your first year at Foster as a defining moment in your life and an experience you are extremely grateful for.

 Ben Gitenstein, President of the MBA Association, Class of 2010In the coming weeks you will hear over and over again that building relationships with the people of Foster is tremendously important. I could not agree more.The people of Foster make Foster exceptional. Our culture of collaboration & competition, our commitment to each other and our collective talent make us truly unique among business schools.  As President of the MBAA I have had the opportunity to meet students from other programs and can say with complete confidence that most schools cannot make the same claim.

Student run clubs and organizations will be a key foundation for your experience at Foster. Clubs are a great way for you to explore career changes, make friends, and find opportunities for leadership.  They can provide support in your academic work as well as in your internship and career searches.

The MBA Association is the umbrella organization for all clubs, providing support and resources for club events.  Additionally, the MBAA maintains the MBA Lounge (where you’ll be spending a good deal of your time), organizes networking nights, throws happy hour events (known as “TG”s), and provides many additional resources for all members. 

Once you join the MBAA, you may choose to join any number of clubs.  In the pages that follow, you’ll find an overview of each club and contact information for club officers.  The Club Fair will take place on Tuesday, September 22 from 12:00-1:30pm.  At this event, you’ll have access to more in-depth information about each of the clubs, and you’ll be able to sign up for the clubs you’re interested in.

Congratulations on your choice to come to the MBA Program at the University of Washington.  If there is anything I or the rest of the MBAA leadership team can do to help, please don’t hesitate to ask.

All the best,  

Foster MBA, Class of 2010
