All of us here in the Office of Admissions and Career Development wish to extend a special Hello to the Go Blue! Rendezvous attendees! Planning for this admitted students' weekend has been underway for months, and our staff and students have put together an intense experience. Go Blue! Rendezvous has proven to be one of our most effective events, and we hope that this year proves to be no exception. The goal for the event is simple - a live demonstration of what life at Ross would be like for the admitted student and her/his SOSer! So, please embrace and enjoy this event and ask a lot of questions!
Because most of this week's GBR activity is hosted by the Admissions part of our team, this week's article will focus mainly on updating GBR attendees on activities in the Office of Career Development. But first we will give a quick overview of who we are and also a snapshot of our current progress in Admissions.
Our Office
One thing that might be a bit distinctive at Ross is the close collaboration between the groups that represent Admissions, Financial Aid, Academic Services, Student Life and the Women's Initiative, and Career Development. We are actually all under one (fairly large) umbrella. The three of us (Kris Nebel, Jim Hayes and Al Cotrone) oversee the group as we share resources and information designed to provide a more streamlined and holistic administrative experience for our students. Over the years that we've worked together there have been countless insights, innovations and improvements that have been produced as we keep in mind the overall experience that an MBA student might have. One of the features of this joint effort is our weekly article in the Monroe Street Journal, "In Through the Out Door" in which we update the community on current happenings from our areas of responsibility. What we have found is that our accessibility ensures that all of our students and community members find it easy to approach us and ask questions and share suggestions...which in turn keeps us fresh and on the cutting edge of what we do. We look forward to engaging with you during your experience this weekend and hopefully as a Ross student next year.
