Students and colleagues,

Here are your announcements for Friday, 14 February 2014.

*MBA Student Association Survey*

To gather your thoughts and ideas of what is important for your student
experience, the MBA-SA has made a quick 1-2 minute survey to capture what
is important to you!
Wanna spend more time at large companies touring?  Maybe an onsite
Six-Sigma Green Belt program for the summer? Quick books training
sessions?!

Every one of the things listed adds *VALUE* to a company and increases both
your overall worth in *SALARY* and your potential to get *HIRED*. Take the
survey and tell us what you want.

OrgSync is a college/university based network that serves as a bulletin
board, online forum, information sharing, and collaborative planning event
site is maintained by Clemson University. The MBA program has a page within
OrgSync for the sole use of our program. Why is this important??

OrgSync will connect you now and KEEP you connected to the MBA program long
after you graduate. You will not get MBA emails or even have your
clemson.edu mailing address forever. But you WILL have OrgSync access for
the rest of your life.

We are overhauling our page now and are opening registration at the link
below. You will also get an invite via your clemson.edu address. If you
want to stay connected as an alumni *SIGN UP.*
