*Upcoming Town Hall*

The MBA Student Association invites all students to our last Town Hall of
the semester on* Monday, April 7th at 6:00pm in the 7th Floor 'Hive'*. This
meeting will be a chance for students to mingle, hear updates on events we
are planning (such as tours, workshops, our end of semester/Cinco de Mayo
social) and much more. It will also be a time to share any good news,
ideas, or concerns you may have; plus dinner will be provided!

Also at Town Hall: a few MBAe students will be presenting their business
ideas-come listen to their 3 minute power point presentations on the new
business venture that they have been developing since May. These students
