Annual International Thanksgiving Dinner

This is a unique Thanksgiving Dinner as we shared with our international classmates one of our favorite things about Thanksgiving . . . FOOD. And our international students brought their favorite dishes from back home! And we played some great board games to keep the party going! More pictures here.

Marketing Madness

This year’s Marketing Madness event was a great success. Teams—made up of MBA and the inaugural class of Master of Marketing students—manned their brand booths, presenting their products and promotional ideas to students, faculty and staff.
