UWB offers new masters in technology management
UW Bothell will offer a Master of Management program with a focus on technology-oriented business for the first time this fall. The accredited, evening degree program was developed in collaboration with representatives from leading regional businesses operating in the software, telecommunications, biotechnology and high-tech manufacturing sectors.

The program is designed for current managers and managers-to-be in technology-oriented businesses, and is open to professionals who have an undergraduate degree in any field. The program is built on traditional business courses, such as accounting, finance, marketing, and operations, and is augmented by specialized courses focusing on issues of particular concern to high-tech companies. For an application packet or additional information about the two-year program, contact Patrick Batson, coordinator of the Master of Management Program, by phone at 425-352-5434; e-mail at uwbmgt@u.washington.edu.

The curriculum will be coordinated through the Center for the Study of Community and Society, with courses contributed from a number of programs at the University. Through a combination of specialized courses and internships with local nonprofit organizations, sutdents may earn a nationally recognized certificate in nonprofit management, according to Steve DeTray, a liberal studies lecturer and faculty director of the nonprofit curriculum.

Get wired to PSO
Professional staff communications is increasing. In addition to the newsletter which is sent to each member of the professional staff, and the Web site at http://weber.u.washington.edu/~psoweb, the Professional Staff Organization (PSO) now has three electronic mail lists serving varying purposes.

The newest list, pso-help@u.washington.edu was created for professional staff to help each other with job-related questions. A group of experienced volunteers will try to answer any job-related questions sent to this list. If you are interested in joining the group and helping others, send an e-mail to listproc@u.washington.edu with “subscribe pso-help YourFirstname YourLastname” in the body of the message with no signature and nothing in the subject line. If you have questions, send them to pso-help@u.washington.edu. Send general question about this or other the PSO e-mail lists to jim@u.washington.edu.
