Welcome New Students
 
We are pleased to welcome our new MBA, MSF and MSIB students to the Graduate School of Business.  Our new Full-time MBA students will be busy with a full week of orientation beginning Tuesday, September 8 and concluding with a Community Service Project on Saturday, September 12 (see below).  New Evening MBA, MSF and MSIB students' orientation will take place on Saturday, September 12.  Remember, all classes begin on Wednesday, September 9.   
Community Service Project
 
All graduate business students are invited to join our new Full-time MBA students on an exciting Community Service Project.  On Saturday, September 12 we will be joining with the City of Boston to help them conduct their annual Food + Fuel Event, taking place in the Reggie Lewis Center.  We will have 2 shifts, the first from 8:00 am - 11:00 am and the second from 10:15 am - 1:15 pm.  If you would like to sign up for one (or both) shifts, please contact Amy Claffey.  This service project will provide a great opportunity to help out Boston residents and to meet your new MBA classmates.
Congratulations to our August Graduates
