TeamAdvance gets makeover for 2013 cohort

Summer's here and we're getting close to launching our next cohort with a TeamAdvance weekend in Dahlonega, but we're changing things up a bit from our first few years.

TeamAdvance is Shorter
Rather than working the whole weekend, TeamAdvance has been shortened to just Friday night and Saturday. As the cohort moves through the program, additional team-building and leadership events will reinforce lessons learned during TeamAdvance weekend.

Faculty Leadership
Dr. Russell Teasley and Dr. Mark Jordan, faculty leaders in the TeamMBA program, will be on-site during TeamAdvance. They will focus on the three tenets of the program: teamwork, leadership and developing a global perspective.

More Involvement for Families
This year spouses, or another key person in the student's support system, will be invited to attend the dinner on Saturday night. We understand how important it is for our MBA students to have the support they need to do their best work, both in the classroom and at home. Meeting the other members of the cohort is a great first step.

Expectations for MBA Students
Earning an MBA requires a new set of skills. This year's TeamAdvance will include a session on how to be successful in an MBA program. Students will also learn what's expected of MBA graduates in the professional world from the perspective of executives.


Work Fast & You Could be at TeamAdvance, too
If you don't yet have an MBA and this sounds like a wonderful learning opportunity for you, you may still be able to apply for classes starting this fall. Please start the application process and then call Kelli Crickey at (770) 205-5448.
