We recognize that the communications regarding IPD Week and Job Search Week are late, and that they may be in contradiction to some earlier messaging. For this, we sincerely apologize. If you have already booked flights which conflict with the Business in Society Week of October 14 – 18, please contact Jenny Chan, Acting FT MBA Program Manager, (jenny.chan@sauder.ubc.ca) in the Graduate Programs Office as soon as possible so that we may discuss options with you. Otherwise, all 2nd year FT MBA students are expected to fully attend Business in Society sessions.
