Welcome to the beginning of an awesome (school) year
I just wanted to take this opportunity to inform you of some part-time-centric events that we have planned for you in the next month.
As part-time students tend to have a hectic work schedule on top of our studies, the GBC, CDC, and Student Services have planned events and workshops with the part-time student in mind.
Here are some events that may be of interest to part-time students:

“Does the night have to end?” I was asked three times when the lights turned on at 2AM. After eight short hours at the Liberty Grand, it felt like the party had only just begun. That’s right – EIGHT HOURS.

The Part-timer, Issue II
The Part-Timer
The Part-Timer is your relevant and concise source of information for part-time MBA students. This issue was sent out on February 2, 2010.
The Part-Timer
After talking to part-time students for the past year in hopes of improving their MBA experience, I learned a few things along the way.
First, the obvious: Part-time students are incredibly busy. They work full-time jobs, have unforgiving obligations at school, have busy personal/family/social obligations, and at the end of the day, have no time for attending workshops, reading e-mails, or participate in any form of networking unless it truly adds value to their busy lives.
Second, part-time students have different career needs from full-time MBA students. They already have careers and are having a good enough time keeping their current jobs - and thus, do not have as great of a need for job-hunting-related workshops.
And lastly, part-time students love socializing and networking - they just need the right opportunity, environment, and venue.
And thus, with the help of many friends in (or graduated from) the part-time MBA program, we came up with the idea of The Part-Timer. Which aims to be the single source of relevant and concise information for part-time MBA students.
The goals:
- To focus on events that cater to our jam-packed schedules.
- To provide career-building events, workshops, and opportunities that part-time students want to attend.
- To provide a means for part-time students to get to know their peers.
- To ultimately add value to our part-time MBA experience.
