Last week we posted a Communique from the Wharton MBA Program for Executives class in San Francisco. Now you’ll see how the East first-year class spent a recent weekend.
WHARTON 33 EAST COMMUNIQUE

SPONSOR DAYS
In your mail folder is a form for you to let us know who you’d like invited to our annual Sponsors Day in November. Please give us the names and addresses of those people from your organization that you’d like invited and those you’d just like informed about the Program. Please complete the form and return it to the box in the MBA Exec Lounge by the end of the weekend. This is not an event for partners. We are in the throes of arranging something special for next term.
SECOND SEMESTER PREP
Books for your Fall 2007 term will be available from the Bell Atlantic classroom, SCC, at lunch on Fri., August 24th and at breakfast and lunch on Sat., August 25th. You’ll get a bag to tote home all that new potential knowledge. If you’d rather ship your books than carry them, you can do so through the SCC front desk. Please be sure to have a shipping account number or a credit card.
ONE DOWN, FIVE TO GO!
Next MBA Exec 33 weekend is the last of your first semester. Congratulations on a great start to the program. To celebrate one semester over and only five more to go, please join Howie and me in the second floor lobby (SCC) after class on Saturday to raise a glass to your accomplishment!
