The Weekly Update – Professional and Online MBA: September 15th, 2016
Program Announcements & Updates
Student Ambassadors Needed
The most frequent request we receive from prospective MBA students is the opportunity to interact with current students, and our Ambassadors enable us to give them a perspective only an NC State MBA student can provide. The time commitment involved is minimal (typically 10 hours/semester) but the impact you have on our program is significant. Some Ambassador tasks might involve hosting a prospective student in one of your classes or answering student questions via email. Interested in learning more? You can read more about what’s involved and fill out the Student Ambassador form here on our website. If you have any questions please contact Jenny Champ, Assistant Director of Admissions.
