The Master Plan for November 26, 2007
Bake up some goodwill
Support the MBA Association’s bake sale for breast cancer awareness this Wednesday at Oglesby Union. Come by and purchase a sweet treat from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Interested in baking? Contact Kristal Caron. MBAA also will be promoting a golf benefit for breast cancer research on Dec. 15.
Gift drive continues
Martin Webb, online MBA student, came by last week to give thanks in person for the College of Business’ generosity while he was serving with the Army in Iraq. Be part of the giving this year – send some holiday spirit to brave men and women away from their families this season.
Bring your donations to Joanna Southerland, MBAA adviser, in Room 233-D Rovetta Building B. She said her office is filling up, but there’s room for more. The drive ends next Thursday, Dec. 6. For gift suggestions and more information, see drive’s Web site.
Drink coffee with Caryn
Celebrate the last day of classes of your college career with Dean Caryn Beck-Dudley. She is hosting a coffee for all graduating business students from 8 to 10:30 a.m. next Friday, Dec. 7, in Weichelt Lounge. You must RSVP by Monday to Jacqui Bybee.
Elect for work experience
Round out your MBA with some on-the-job training for your resume. Sign up for a spring 2008 internship. Read more about the opportunities. For more information, contact Shawn Winship, MBA internship coordinator.
Go ahead, choose your classes
You have two weeks left to register for spring classes. Registration ends next Friday, Dec. 7. Check out your options on the spring schedule link in Blackboard’s COB Graduate Student Organization.

Meet some colleagues
Jennifer Erb, left, and Kristin Rizzo, part-time MBA students, work at Florida State University’s Panama City campus. “I'll be graduating in August, and I love the part-time program,” Erb said. “It's the perfect program for being able to still work and get your degree.”
