Opening Week To Do’s

Hi all,

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the official start of your MBAN program in only 11 days! There are a couple of additional items for you to do before Opening Week:

For Monday, Aug 28th: Read the following 3 key Academic Regulations, which will be discussed in detail on the first day of Opening Week – Academic Misconduct / Academic Standing & Grading Practices / Professionalism, Attendance & Behaviour. This should take around 15 minutes to complete.

For Thursday, Aug 31st: Read the Southwest Airlines Case. As you read the case consider: As the decision-maker, what would you do and why? Make some personal notes to aid class discussion. If you would like to have a hard copy, please print it before you come. Otherwise, you are welcome to refer to the case on your laptop. This should take around 30 minutes to complete.

You will note the dress code on the Opening Week Schedule. Please refer to the Guide on Professional Business Attire for guidelines on what constitutes business formal, business casual, and casual wear.

As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at askmban@sauder.ubc.ca if you have any questions before Opening Week.

Best wishes,

Elisabeth Chin
