Let's connect at GMAC!

If you’re planning to attend the GMAC annual conference in Boston later this month, you’re probably looking forward to the chance to learn from your peers. GMAC always puts together a great program, designed to help us better understand trends in our industry and face emerging challenges.

Networking is a crucial part of the conference—being able to build connections and get insight from colleagues with industry experience can be priceless. I know when I was working on revamping Santa Clara University’s evening MBA program and developing the school’s first ever online program, it was incredibly helpful to reach out to fellow deans and program directors to understand the benefits and drawbacks of different approaches we were considering. They shared everything from answers to questions that I had from navigating this new environment to specific lessons they had learned when going through the process themselves.

As you may know, I’m the chair of the advisory board for Liaison’s BusinessCAS?, the Centralized Application Service (CAS?) for graduate management programs. I’ve quickly grown to appreciate the BusinessCAS community—a group with a common drive to make the business school admissions experience more seamless for students and schools alike. I’d like to invite you to a special networking event for graduate management education professionals ready for game-changing innovation in recruiting, admitting and enrolling best-fit students.

Join me and the BusinessCAS team for a night out at Jillian's, a Boston staple, on Wednesday, June 27th at 7pm. There will be dinner, drinks and games, as well as a chance to forge deeper connections with some of your colleagues. When you RSVP you’ll automatically be entered into a giveaway for a pair of VIP Red Sox tickets.

If you’d like to join us at Jillian’s, please RSVP here. I look forward to learning more about your school’s unique admissions goals and challenges. Even if you can’t make it to dinner on Wednesday evening, I hope you’ll make time to visit the BusinessCAS booth in the Expo Hall.
