Wish the MBA Class of 2023 luck as they begin their journey with Springboard Week next week! Time flies when you're having fun!

We have been busy finalizing our Springboard Week orientation for the MBA Class of 2023 next week! Who doesn't love a good theme? Especially if we can mention our Bulldog's historic NCAA College World Series win!

Our Class of 2023 will be reading Crucial Conversations as part of their Springboard orientation. Would any alumni be interested in reading along and having a book discussion? If interested, please email [email protected]. Possible dates for the book discussion would be in early June!

The social media blackout is officially over! CONGRATULATIONS to our fantastic 2022 SEC MBA Case Competition Team for representing us so well at the University of Kentucky this past weekend!

Calling alums! A message from our MBA Director Angelia Knight:

I hope that you will be available Thursday, May 26th for a very special event. The on-campus MBA program will be having its Annual Springboard Week (orientation) activities at that time and the 26th is particularly special because we will be having an individual and team speaking competition called Speaker’s Edge. We’ve updated this competition from previous years because it looks like we’ll be welcoming almost 100 students this year!

In order to keep the students on track, I’m asking faculty, staff, alums and corporate partners to act as judges. Would you be available that day to act in that role? We need judges morning only, afternoon only, and all day! That way, if you would like to volunteer, you can plan your time according to what best fits your schedule. Judge training will be provided and materials will be sent to you beforehand for your review. Also, lunch will be provided as a thank you for your assistance.

In all, about 40-50 judges are needed to pull off this important part of Springboard Week, and I hope you’ll choose to participate. If you aren’t available at that time, please consider passing this message along to someone in your office who would be interested.

Please let me know if you can participate, or if you have more questions. I’ll be glad to work with you! You can contact me at [email protected]

I look forward to hearing from you soon,

Angelia
