Welcome (Back)!

Hi fellow Haasers!

The communications team wants to extend a warm welcome to the incoming class of 2013 and a welcome back to all the 2nd and 3rd years! Orientation for our eager compatriots was this weekend, and I had at least one full timer who was on campus on Saturday remark to me that they are an enthusiastic bunch. Glad to see we're keeping up the tradition of bringing energy to the EWMBA program!

For those of you in the 2nd/3rd year: Don't forget that the add/drop period starts on Saturday, 8/14. There is also an academic conference call hosted on Wednesday to help the 2nd years through the process as well as talk about new initiatives. Don't miss this chance to hear from our stellar Academic Affairs Committee!

Introducing the New Communications Committee!

I'm proud to announce the new members of the Haas EWMBA Communications Committee! We have a great group of folks joining the committee, and already they have interesting and unusual ideas to bring to our discussions. I think you can expect great things from your peers this year.

I'm beginning to feel a little nostalgic for my first year, so I'm glad to be working with all first year students, including my new co-chair Shadab Nazar. In addition, Kevin Krause has enthusiastically volunteered to share blogging duties with me, which means you'll have his unique perspective on the committee and the program as well. We're still working on getting team members photos together, so we'll let you know when the main page is updated with photos so you can recognize us when we are on campus.

Without further ado, the new Committee Members are:

Shadab Nazar 1st year, and Co-Chair of the Communications Committee, Technology Committee Liaison
Anand Pandey 1st year, BLUE - Alumni Committee Liaison
Jeffrey Chen 1st year, BLUE - Admissions Committee Liaison
Monish Sharma 1st year, AXE - Career Services Committee Liaison
Kevin Krause 1st year, Co-Blogger, Community Service and Academics Committees Liaison

Please feel free to send comments and suggestions to any one of the team members!
