Community Dinners
To kick off the fall semester, we will be hosting community
dinners the first week of classes. The
dinners will begin at 5:30pm and are a great opportunity to network with your
classmates and professors before class.
We hope you will arrive a little early and join us.
Getting Involved: Track Representatives
Each fall 2-3 students are elected from each incoming track/program to
represent their peers to the Faculty and Administration. These students are
known as Track Representatives and their role is to facilitate two-way
communication between faculty/administration and their track/program. In the
event an issue or concern arises, the track reps would bring the concern to the faculty and/or administration for resolution.
Conversely, information from the Masters Programs Office is shared with
the MBA students on a regular basis via the Track Reps. These representatives
and the PTMBAA officers work together to voice issues of concern involving
students through weekly meetings and conference calls. Are you interested
in getting involved? Stay tuned, more information about becoming a Track
Representative will be announced at Orientation and Baltimore Campus night!
