Countdown to the Blast Off

The EWMBA orientation starts in two days. The actual event will start on the evening of Friday, 4th August and end on the afternoon of Sunday, 6th August at the Berkeley Marina. Classes will begin for the weekday cohorts in the week of 7th August and the weekend cohort starts in the week 19th August.

Now that the bills for the Fall 2006 have been released, the reality of the amount of money has hit home. I have been "pushing paper" in the office to make sure that everything is in order for the tuition reimbursement process. Hopefully, everything will get processed by August 15th, which is the deadline for paying the fees.

I am looking forward to the orientation because we will get an opportunity to see the entire class. On the regular class days, we will end up seeing folks from a specific cohort, but the orientation will provide an avenue to meet and greet everyone. Haas has planned an interesting set of activities for the orientation, and I will outline them in the next post.
