The 2008 EDP class consists of 43 individuals
from a variety of industries throughout
the Puget Sound area. We have participants
again representing companies such as Weyerhaeuser,
Microsoft, Boeing, Premera Blue Cross, SAFECO
and the Port of Seattle and we’re
thrilled to add individuals from Tommy Bahama,
REI, Adobe Systems, Sprint/Nextel and Zones,
Inc. and many others to our alumni network.
There are a wide range of positions represented
in the class – from company presidents,
vice presidents and CEOs to project managers,
database administrators, accountants and
retail executives.
We have some very exciting news to share with
you. As of Fall 2007, The Management Program
will be renamed the Executive Development
Program (EDP). We at UW Executive Education
believe that this change reflects both the
true level of excellence that TMP has delivered
over the past 37 years and the outstanding
quality of participants who are now attending
the Program. It also represents a growing
emphasis on development of executive leadership
and strategic thinking in the curriculum in
recent years.
The
name change comes largely in response to
corporate feedback, input from the Executive
Education Advisory Board, and our desire
to reflect the ongoing evolution of the
Program. The name change becomes effective
on October 1st, 2007. We hope that this
information will be helpful in explaining
the Executive Development Program to your
colleagues and friends who might be interested
in attending EDP in the future. We will
publicize this change to Program sponsors
and others over the next few weeks, but
we wanted you to hear the news first.
Thank
you again for your support of UW Executive
Education and
The Management Program –- soon to
be the Executive Development Program!

University
of Washington president Mark A. Emmert
announced today that the UW Business School
is being renamed in recognition of gifts
from The
Foster Foundation totaling
$50 million, with $46.5 million made during
Campaign UW: Creating Futures. The School
will be called the Michael G. Foster School
of Business, subject to approval by the
UW Board of Regents at its regularly scheduled
meeting Sept. 20. "Mike
Foster was a genuine Northwest businessman,”
said Jill Goodsell, The Foster |
Foundation’s
Executive Director. “He had an uncanny
way of enriching many lives within his realm
– an entrepreneur in the truest sense
of the word. The Foundation's gift to the
UW is perfect in so many ways, enabling
Mike’s legacy as a true Northwest
business leader to live on in perpetuity.”

A
new world-class home for the UW Business School
is assuming its final form as the design process
continues toward the start of construction of
the first two new buildings (Phase I—see
brick and glass buildings in image center above)
in the summer of 2008. Phase I calls for two new
multi-purpose classroom and office buildings linked
by a central atrium. Together these new buildings,
when completed in 2010, will add 123,000 gross
square feet to the Business School. Phase II (see
brick building to the right in image above) construction,
tentatively |
|
|
scheduled
to start in 2010, will replace existing Balmer
Hall with another all-new building, and add 61,000
gross square feet. [more...]
