I have been heartened by the enthusiasm among our student body in recent months. Several new interest groups have been formed, including separate entities for students with an interest in finance and marketing. Also, as Meg Standing has noted in an earlier post, the MBA women’s association is off to a very good start. Finally, I sense that a group of students who share an interest in entrepreneurship will be establishing a presence during the next few months.
This week, I heard from a couple of military veterans who are in the MBA program and would like to help us attract more veterans. I look forward to supporting them in this endeavor.
Credit for much of this work is owed to the MBA Leadership Council, under Gary Welch’s direction this year, and to those who have taken the initiative to establish these interest groups.
Finally, a large group of Richmond MBA alumni have now met twice to begin discussions around establishing committees that will provide educational and networking opportunities for our students and alumni. Stay tuned for more news from them in October. We look forward to seeing all of our students and alumni at the holiday gathering in December.
