So much to write about...

Where to begin. Our very own Dr. Carol Reeves is featured in Fortune: http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/smallbusiness/1109/gallery.most_powerful_women_entrepreneurs.fortune/9.html. She is the amazing advisor for Walton GSB small business plan teams. Be sure to check out this article.

There is also an elevator pitch competition coming up on October 27. This is what the flier says:
THIS IS A GREAT NETWORKING OPPORTUNITY FOR INVESTORS, BUSINESS LEADERS, AND ENTREPRENEURS.
WHAT IS AN ELEVATOR PITCH?
AN "ELEVATOR PITCH" IS A CAREFULLY CRAFTED MESSAGE DESIGNED TO EXPLAIN A BUSINESS TO A POTENTIAL INVESTOR. THE CATCH — IT MUST BE GIVEN IN THE TIME THAT IT TAKES TO RIDE UP AN ELEVATOR.
200+ ATTENDEES WERE AT THE LAST EVENT!

We also had another MBA admissions committee meeting this week. Official letters will go out tomorrow. Prior to the meeting, we had 21 in our class that will begin in January. We will make 15-17 more offers based on this meeting. The number is not set in stone because we are still waiting on an item or two from a couple of students in order to finalize the decision.

WE WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT INTERNATIONAL APPLICATIONS FOR THE CLASS THAT WILL BEGIN IN JANUARY 2012. This is due to the processing involved and the time remaining until Orientation (January 9-13).

Domestic applications will continue to be accepted through November as space is available. Our goal is 40 students. Email gsb@walton.uark.edu with questions.
