Memo from Dean Fuerst:
I am excited to welcome you to the inaugural edition of the KU School of Business parent newsletter, On the Same Page. Our goal with this new quarterly e-mail communication is to keep parents of our Business and pre-Business students connected to the School and "in the know."
We believe you, as a parent, are one of the most valuable resources for your student. We commit to partnering with you to ensure a path of success for your daughter or son, our student.
The School has a multitude of opportunities and services available for students. We hope you encourage your son or daughter to get to know the faculty, staff, and fellow students in the School, to get involved, and to become a part of the School of Business family. Rock Chalk Jayhawk! |

Student Organization Spotlight
Undergraduate Business Council (UBC)The UBC is an umbrella organization made up from officers of recognized Business School undergraduate organizations and at-large members. The UBC is committed to serving the School by providing leadership, representation on policy-making groups within the School, and interaction between the faculty and students within the School. The UBC has been involved with the Summerfield Food Stop, The Link magazine, the Business Career Fair, and countless other initiatives. Joining a student organization is a great way for students to get to know their peers, build their resumes, and participate in value-added projects.

International Corner
If your student decides to study abroad while at KU, he or she will be in good company. About 35% of Business School undergraduates study abroad-this rate is about three times the national average, and is due to the long history of strong international programs at KU. For example, the School's participation with the Consortium Institute of Management and Business Analysis (CIMBA) facilitates a very popular program of business classes offered in the Veneto region of Italy. Depending on their interests, many students opt for study abroad programs available in other countries, such as Australia, Chile, China, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Scotland, Spain, and Sweden. The School has recently established partnerships with two universities in China: the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing and Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou.
