The Weekly Rundown

Okay, let's try this again. The original Weekly Rundown that went out today was an older draft version. I am sorry for any confusion this may cause. The meals section has been updated and corrected, their is new information in the Student Program Office Section, and their is updated information in the Announcements section.

Parliament Dinner

Parliament Dinner is a hosted by the JSAP once a month and allows students to hear important announcements from the JSAP, the administration and from the student clubs. Dinner will be served in the AFC and announcements will start at 5:30pm. You will not want to miss out on the opportunity to hear what is happening with your program, around the school, and to eat with your classmates in the freshly renovated AFC!

Two Things about Breakout Rooms

1. Please make sure that you are reserving Breakout Rooms through the room reservations system which you can access at rooms.rice.edu. I know that it is really easy to just find an empty Breakout Room and start working, but this can cause frustration for those who have gone into the system and reserved the space. If you have not reserved the Breakout Room space, you could be asked to vacate the room by someone who has actually booked the space.
2. Please DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BELONGINGS UNATTENDED. Not in the Breakout Rooms, not in the classrooms, not in the common areas. McNair Hall is a public building and even though it feels like it is a space where you would only find MBA students and you all trust each other, the building is open to the public from 6:00am-10:00pm Monday-Friday. We have had a string of thefts and ask for you to all be more vigilant and not leave your belongings unattended.

Share Your Wins! Update OWL-Careers with Any Job Offers Received

A major aspect of our school rankings are employment outcomes, and this includes all offers students receive, not just the ones you accept!

If you’ve received a job offer, please let us know about it by reporting it in OWL-Careers. This information also helps us understand who is interested in our students so that we can be better informed on who to build strategic relationships with to develop our employer base. Help us help you, and report any offers you receive in to OWL-Careers. NOTE: Merely reporting an offer received will have no effect on your recruiting status. So don’t worry about reporting offers received, nothing will change in OWL-Careers and you will still have full access to recruiting.
