This morning, we kick started day one of Foundation Week. We have had a busy morning welcoming our newly arrived MBA students to Smurfit Business School, that is the Full-Time MBA Class of 2016 and the Executive MBA Class of 2017. It has been a great morning meeting everybody, welcoming our international students to Dublin, and getting to know one another.
Foundation Week is a week-long orientation session which takes place prior to the academic course. It is designed to assist our MBA students as they return to formal study. Subjects covered include: Communication Skills, Report Writing, Team Building, Leadership Skills, Introduction to Personal Awareness & Personality Type, Multicultural Learning Environment, Networking Sessions, Case Study Analysis, Library & IT Skills and Productivity Management, amongst others.
I would like to wish all of our newly arrived MBA students the very best over the course of their time with us here at Smurfit, the exciting journey starts here.
Best wishes,
Avril Donohue ~ MBA Senior Programme Coordinator
