A Message from Sigrid
Happy Monday! It’s all about the numbers this week…
Class of 2018: In 54 days, you will be walking across the stage to receive your diploma, only if you have remembered to file for graduation. Please take care of this quick and easy task.
Class of 2019: In 15 days, you will begin bidding on your Autumn 2018 quarter - Core course (MGMT 504) section preference and up to 12 credits of electives. Your task between now and then is to research the electives you are considering. I have detailed below a number of ways you can research your options.
Have a good week!
