The Evening UST MBA Student Life Office has lots of fun (and educational) programs planned for this spring. Go ahead and mark your calendars for the following events and dates:

Master’s Pub
You're invited to join your fellow graduate business students for business conversations, beverages and hors d'oeuvres (that translates into pizza and beer for you). We will have a short presentation and you will have plenty of time to visit with your colleagues.

Time: Friday evenings, 4:30-6:30 pm, Minneapolis campus. Please RSVP to cobptgradbiz@stthomas.edu.

Save these dates:
• February 27, 2009: Jeff Peterson, Best Buy, Director of Community Relations and Social Change
• April 24, 2009: Lorna Nagler, Christopher and Banks, President and CEO

Elective Track Information Sessions

During the weeks of February 23-26 and March 2-5, we will be hosting a series of information sessions about electives. Department chairs or representatives will be on hand to explain elective options and answer your questions. This is a great way to meet faculty and get the "insider's" view on electives. Bring your questions!

Minneapolis Campus, 5:00-5:45 p.m.

MBA to Z

Maximize your MBA experience by attending the MBA to Z seminars. On a Saturday morning, we will have a speaker discuss an MBA-related topic. For example, during the 2007-08 academic year, we had presentations on networking, salary negotiation, LinkedIn, using the library's resources, time management, and writing skills.

Please RSVP to cobptgradbiz@stthomas.edu.

Our speaker will be Mr. John Taft, CEO of RBC Wealth Management (formerly RBC Dain Rauscher), discussing “The Path to Leadership.” In some cases, as Ty Webb suggests in the movie “Caddyshack,” the “...shortest distance between two points is a straight line...in the opposite direction.” Mr. Taft will share his personal views on why the same might be said for the life experiences that go into making an effective leader.
