In light of the focus on ethics in your program, along with the recent news articles about Sauder’s BCOM Frosh events, Murali & Paul have suggested that you may want to have a look at the following Globe & Mail article titled “Why leaders need to have integrity”:  http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/careers/management/the-importance-of-integrity/article14167037/

Please note that a major Connect outage is being planned by UBC-IT for:

• Sunday, August 18
• 7 am to 3 pm PST

Connect will not be available during this time. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Dear incoming MBA student,

As you may be aware through information on Connect, each MBA student pays a one-time levied student fee as a part of their first tuition installment.   The decision was recently passed by current Full-time MBA & Part-time MBA students to increase the MBA Student Society fee from $261.10 to $400 as of June 1^st 2013. 

The total fees collected for all MBA students makes up the MBA Student Society budget, 100% of which supports co-curricular activities for current MBA students throughout their program.  This increase will allow the MBA Society to enhance the student experience by providing funding for more student led events and by creating additional opportunities for MBA students to participate in activities throughout their program. 

Furthermore, the enhanced budget will allow the MBA Student body to build on current initiatives to leave a positive legacy for future classes to come.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at jonmains@gmail.com

Best wishes,

Jon Mains, Class President
