Parking Information- VERY IMPORTANT

All Clemson student parking cards will expire on Wednesday, May 7th.

  *   If a student intends to cancel their parking card, the parking pass must be returned to the parking office at 1021 South Main Street.  The student should verify their mailing address and their $25 card deposit will be refunded.
  *   If a student intends to continue parking for  Summer Sessions, the student will need to notify parking services by April 1st in order to be billed for May parking fees and continue parking uninterrupted.
  *   If a student intends to continue parking in the Fall they may keep their parking pass but need to contact parking services by July 1st in order to be billed for August parking fees.
  *   New Students will be required to complete a “Clemson Parking Application”, pay a $25 parking card deposit, and receive their parking pass at the parking office located at 1021 South Main Street.  Office hours are 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday.

All students should send an email confirmation to jmccarthy at greenvillesc.gov<mailto:jmccarthy at greenvillesc.gov> indicating their parking preference (cancel, summer session, or fall) along with their name and billing address.

Clemson monthly parking fees are $40 per month.  Parking invoices are sent out on the 15th of the month for the next month.  Parking fees are due on the 1st payable by the 10th and late fees are accessed on the 11th.

MBA 899- International Business Law

As you know, the world is becoming smaller and smaller and firms are increasingly looking for employees with cross-cultural competencies.  One of the best ways to develop those competencies is through a study abroad experience.  The Clemson MBA/MPAcc Fall Break in Europe program offers such an experience.

Up to twenty (20) MBA and MPAcc students will take MBA 8990 (Selected Topics - Int'l Business Law), ACCT 8730 (International Taxation), or ACCT

8630 (Forensics and Analysis) during the Fall, 2014 semester.  The courses include a field trip to Paris, Brussels, and London over Fall Break.

While abroad, students will visit organizations such as OECD, ICC, EU Commission/Parliament, and Deloitte.  The program also includes plenty of free time to explore these wonderful cities and to make side trips to places like Bruges or Windsor.

Please see the attachment for additional details.  For more information, including application instructions, go to http://people.clemson.edu/~judsonj/fallbreak.html .  Based upon our initial response, it appears the program will fill up quickly, so we are encouraging students to apply early.

If you have any questions, please contact Professor Jahn: judsonj at clemson.edu<mailto:judsonj at clemson.edu>

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

For the third year in a row, Clemson MBA is the Presenting Sponsor for Downtown Alive, the weekly free music event held Thursday nights on Main Street in front of the Hyatt. Each Thursday from 5:30 – 8:30 PM we have a tent set up inside the event where we hand out promotional items and talk to the guests about the MBA program. The event begins March 20th and will run every week through August 28th.

We are looking for volunteers to staff the booth during the 2014 season. It is more fun if you work in teams of two. The tent and table are already set up and all you have to do is bring the wheeled cart full of brochures and koozies and set them up on the table, then be available to hand them out/answer questions if needed. You will be provided with free drink tickets for the evening and everything you need to set up the display.

If you are interested in volunteering for one or several evenings, please email Darlene Fuhst at dfuhst at clemson.edu<mailto:dfuhst at clemson.edu> with available dates.

Global Water Day Workshop- April 22

Based in Dublin, Ireland, KBII has been at the forefront of investing in water-related companies since 2000 and its dedicated Eco-Funds.  The KBII portfolio team scours the water sector to identify the companies that they believe are market leaders with strong fundamentals, solid long-term prospects, proven technologies, and established market positions.
