Fall 2019 - New MBA Alumni Association President
The fall certainly has a reputation for being both a busy time of year, as well as a time of transitions. I always find myself reflecting on the past year and looking forward to new opportunities ahead. This theme of reflection and opportunity seem fitting to me, especially as I transition into my new role within the MBA Alumni Association.
I'm honored to be a part of such a talented, diverse, and engaged alumni network and I'm so proud of the success of the program (VSB was recently recognized by U.S. News & World Report with a No. 2 ranking for Best Online Graduate Business Program and No. 13 for Best Online MBA Program!). Even more fitting, we're approaching 40 years of the ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ MBA program and have included a "Reflections" column in the newsletter. We're working to highlight remembrances of our alumni dating back to the very beginning of the program.
I would also like to specifically thank Mike Filachek for his past 5 years of leadership of the MBA Alumni Association -- his efforts have positioned the association to continue advancing in our mission to enhance the value of the ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ MBA. The MBA Alumni Association Board is already hard at work planning for 2020 -- stay tuned for updates, and please feel free to suggest ideas for alumni events that you'd be interested in attending.
Thank you all for your engagement with our Alumni Association -- I look forward to meeting many of you at upcoming events. Go Cats!
