Check out the Haas Social Media webpage to find links to Twitter, Blogs, LinkedIn and more!

Here's a link to Haas Faculty on Twitter, or you can tweet with the EWMBA Program Office. (Special bonus for those of you who may be interested in the baked goods competiton that the program office staff sometimes tweets about!)
