Vietnam International Seminar Deadline Extended
Deadline moved to January 27
 
SwanProfessor Dave Berg is currently in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam meeting with business and academic leaders to organize the upcoming international seminar to Vietnam.  His report of the weather (80 degrees), the economic growth (amazing), history and architecture (colonial, European, post-colonial), and landmarks (Notre Dame Cathedral, Ben Thanh Market) was sent to all graduate students.  He extended the deadline for applications to Wednesday, January 27.  An application can be downloaded here (PDF).  The last line of Dave's report says it all - "Vietnam is a fascinating blend of east and west, old and new, former isolation and current globalization--and I haven't even gotten to Hanoi yet!"

China 2009: An Introduction to Business in China 

China
 
It has been a few months since our graduate students and faculty returned from the Fall 2009 China International Seminar.  However, our study abroad office and the professors for the course are already planning for Fall 2010.  You can see a few photos and read quotes from some returning students on the China 2009 recap page.
Interested in the MBA Human Resources Concentration?
 
MBA students interested in the Human Resources concentration should check out a power-point created especially to introduce the concentration and its benefits.  All four of the MBA concentrations have web sites that explain the concentration -   International Management, Finance, Conflict Management, and HR Management
Undergraduate Students Invited to MN Private College Job Fair
 
HSB undergraduate students are invited to attend the MN Private College Job Fair on February 16 & 17.  The School of Business is happy to cover the $10 registration fee for HSB undergraduate students.  Watch your email for more information. 
David Schultz Publishes One Book Per Month in December-January
 Swan
We recently told you about Professor David Schultz' book on eminent domain that was  published a few weeks ago.  Dr. Schultz follows that with the announcement of a Constitutional Law text published by Oxford University Press.  The publisher calls the text "the most up-to-date, carefully edited, and student-friendly undergraduate constitutional law textbook."  Read the official Hamline announcement for all the details. 
Spring Term for Traditional Students Starts Feb 3.
 
Graduate students in the traditional model of the Public Administration (MPA) and Nonprofit Management (MNM) programs will start their spring term in early February.  If you have not registered yet, please do so at your earliest convenience.  

On January 20, we welcomed new MPA and MNM students to the traditional program at our Spring 2010 Orientation.  Students heard from faculty, met future colleagues, and were introduced to all the fun little details of graduate studies.

Undergraduates will return to campus for spring courses soon as well.
