Winter Campus Visit Event Registration Starts 30 November 2009
Our academic calendar is materializing for the Winter quarter. This means it's time to open registration for our on-campus events.
On Monday, 30 November 2009, initial registration will open for Winter class visits and information sessions. The first opportunity for class visits will be Monday, 11 January 2010. In December, once our class enrollment numbers are confirmed, we will post additional spots for class visits.
As I mentioned in my previous blog entry, attending our on-campus events is neither required nor expected. Our events offer a chance to experience a day at the GSB, but do not result in preferential treatment in the admission process.
This past Fall quarter, we accommodated over 500 class visitors. Based on our survey results, almost everyone enjoyed their class visit.
For event details, please refer to the following section on our website.
We look forward to seeing you in the coming months.
Take care,
Brad Lindeberg
Admissions Coordinator






The Embrace organization is itself in the incubation stage. The four-student team came up with the idea and developed it in class in 2007. Last June, two of the original team members, Jane Chen, MBA '08, and Rahul Panciker, PhD '08, Engineering, won an Echoing Green Fellowship, which provides seed funding for the project of up to $90,000 over two years. The organization has since received nonprofit status, the incubator and its heating system has a provisional patent, and Chen and Panicker are now in India conducting clinical tests of the Embrace. If all goes well, they will return to India later this year to test it in a community setting. See EmbraceGlobal.org.
We're excited to announce that second-year MBA student Andreata Muforo won the Social Equity Venture Fund (S.E.VEN) "Entrepreneurial President" essay competition and a $20,000 scholarship. Assuming the role of policy advisor to President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, she wrote an essay on "Developing Rwanda's Private Sector through Entrepreneurship," which will be presented to President Kagame.
