Our first 2008 EWMBAA eZine!

The Haas Evening Weekend MBA Association serves as the voice of the student body, and our student-run committees cover various aspects of student life. Thanks so much to all of you who applied to join our committees – we now have a wonderful team and are looking forward to the year ahead.

1. First off, our Community Service team (led by Jenn Elliott and Ken So) has a fun opportunity on Sunday, March 9 at Palo Alto Art Center’s Family Fun Day. Only 20 spaces are available, so sign up quickly. Please see the newsflash below for more details.

2. Yes – we now have our own Weekly eZine! Our Communications team (led by Ben Chong and Anlei Lee) will be putting together this weekly newsletter to keep you posted on activities.
