1networking well planned events
2Networking Wilmington Business information - example: new companies coming to area More information on business happenings throught the Raleigh and Charlotte area
3Business networking Social events Communicate with college professors on our behalf
5more events foster networking provide dinner before class
8Networking opportunities, More organized socials, career services.
91. At events designed for both classes, provide activities or opportunities for interaction. It is unlikely that a 2008 member would just go up to a 2009 member and strike up a conversation, or vice versa. Ideas of this type of interaction would be games at a picnic where teams or partners are required (egg toss, three legged race, etc) or even something at the Christmas Party where you have to have one of those sheets and have to find someone that has the same birthday as you, someone who didn't find out there was no Santa Claus until they were over 15, etc.) 2. Provide better communication. I have yet to see what my $25 dues contribute to. Last year, it seemed I paid for the MBA Association officers to eat out at their meetings and for crappy food and one drink at the Christmas party. 3. Speakers and networking opportunities. I know you guys are already hard at work on this one, so keep up the good job!
10Networking opportunities
12Networking Opportunities, Speakers
14Interact more with local companies, schedule meetings where the two classes get togheter to talk about the plans may be ones every quarter and implement some kind of reward program or so, for the profesors so they can get some feed back from the MBAA.
21-Provide a strong network both now and after graduation -Be available for advice
22Increase the status of the program in the community
24Guest speakers networking
25offer career services for people looking for jobs do a better job of consolidating messges, stop sending so many emails and talking before every single class Bridge gap between 2008 and 2009 classes
27Speaker programs
28Networking Networking Networking
29More reliable LA project Less emphasis on LA project Consolidate classes or make some classes longer credit hours than others because of their importance and value
30Networking Opportunities Executive Speakers
31Job placement Examine current curriculum for possible updating
32- arrange for guest speakers - arrange events that facilitate networking with local businesses/community organizations - set up tours at local businesses
33networking activities/job placement mentoring
341- offer more opportunities to network with MBA alumni 2 - career services/recruitment 3 - better social events that actually try to integrate the classes
35Have more family oriented social events and social events that do not coincide with the end of the semester and/or big projects when time is limited. Have some social events outdoors, weathe permitting of course.
37Provide volunteer mentors (who are second-year students) to first-year students. Provide a way (e.g., a website) for students in the program to ask questions about the program that can be answered online by other students.
40MBA Career Services, MBA Job Fair, Internships
45Promote communication between classes. Organize social events. Class Information - what to expect, personal experiences, helpful hints, etc.
48Invite Speakers. Hold socials between 2008 and 2009 Graduates. 2008 Grads share their experiences with 2009 Grads.
49networking, job fairs,
511. group activities 2. CEN incorporation 3. basketball??? (all out of ideas)
