Greetings from Ithaca! The trees on campus are all in bloom, and we are about to celebrate the success of the Class of 2014 with graduation festivities. It's probably hard to believe that we will be celebrating your graduation in just two short years.

The Career Management Center webinars are wrapped up now, but if you missed them the first time, there's still time to catch up. See below for links to specific sessions. The next deposit is due June 4, and there are other updates about financial matters below. You'll soon receive information via email from Professor Bob Libby about the Accounting core prep work. Keep on the lookout for it as it will greatly help you during the core. For a list of previous Sage News emails, please see the bottom of this message for Sage News Archives, links to previous messages. The archive lines can also be found on the right side of the Johnson New Students page. Staying in-the-know and on task will definitely help you hit the ground running in August.

Don't forget your spouses and partners can join our Joint Ventures spouses and partners club on Facebook. Check out our Johnson Facebook page, Twitter feed, and Flickr site.

We will begin inviting students to participate in this three-day preparatory course, sometimes fondly referred to as "math camp" in the coming weeks. Invitations will be extended first to students who we feel can most benefit from the course. We will  open up a wait list in late May for others wishing to join the course.
