FROM News Penn State: That Time of Year

It is hard to believe that we are approaching the end of another academic year here at the Penn State Smeal MBA Program. For our students, this semester has been filled with many activities. They spent hours in the classroom and working on team and individual assignments. They traveled on experiential learning trips to foreign countries, the New York Fired Department and the Marine Base in Quantico, Virginia. Students participated in multiple case competitions, consulted on live business problems with companies of all sizes and represented our program throughout the University. In their free time, students have made time for their families and friends, supporting each other through good times and challenges.

The MBA Program Office has been busy this semester helping our students succeed in and out of the classrooms. We hope to facilitate great relationships both with and between the students, faculty and others at Penn State. It is very rewarding to watch students develop personally and professionally in the two years they are here, and we are immensely proud of all they accomplish during their time with us.

This is the last time I will be blogging on behalf of the Penn State Smeal MBA Program, as I will be moving on to the next challenge in my professional life. I would like to thank all of the colleagues, students, prospective students and alumni with whom I have connected during my almost ten years here. It has been an honor to work with all of you. If you are considering an MBA or the Smeal MBA Program, I have to tell you that getting my MBA and later working for the program were two of the best decisions I have ever made.

-Ann Mallison, Director of Student Services
