A Message from Sigrid
As we begin Veteran’s Appreciation week here at UW, I would like to recognize and thank the Foster MBA students, alumni, faculty, and staff who have served our country in the armed and uniformed forces. Friday (Nov. 10) is a holiday designated to honor our veterans, and we will not have classes.
There are multiple opportunities this week (see this link) to show your appreciation to our veterans. Below are some highlights:
Have a good week,
Best,
Sigrid Olsen
