EWMBA Discussion Forum

The forum will serve as a single repository to maintain discussions pertinent to the b-school life of the Haas EWMBA community.Currently, there's no single system that stores various topics of interest to the EWMBA students. While individual years maintain their own YahooGroups, there's no sharing of information across the spectrum. Moreover, none of the existing solutions (including the YahooGroups) maintain threads of conversation by interest areas. This forum will enable faster access to relevant information. For example, individuals interested in career related topics can directly jump to that folder and search for specific threads. The forum will also serve as a living repository of events and experiences (with courses, professors, school life etc).Anybody with a '@mba.berkeley.edu' e-mail address can get access to this forum. Others can neither browse nor post topics. All posts will be moderated by the EWMBAA communications committee.

Go to http://haasewmbaa.freeforums.org/profile.php?mode=register Enter the basic profile information. Please ensure that you enter your Haas e-mail address. Once, you get a confirmation e-mail (within 48 hours), you are ready to contribute.The 48 hour delay is due to having a human being (Ben) at the other end to approve sign-ups. If you have discussion forum experience and would like to help out, please contact Ben (benchong@mba.berkeley.edu).

Remember that the quality of a Haas MBA comes from the folks who participate in the program. Similarly, what you can get out of the forums will come from the number of participants. So please sign up!
