Summer Commencement at Knowles Memorial Chapel

Graduating PMBA students:

We have been very fortunate to acquire the use of the Knowles Memorial Chapel for our Summer 2009 commencement exercises. We have in the past been asked by graduates if this might be a possibility due to the smaller number of graduates marching in the summer commencement. There is no change to the date or starting time of the event, but please note that we are moving the actual event from the larger Harold & Ted Alfond Sports Center to the Knowles Memorial Chapel.

This change in venue will require us to use tickets for the guest of our graduates. Each graduate can order up to six tickets and request additional tickets that might be available at a later date. Graduates are asked to only order the exact number of tickets they need to ensure that all of our guest can be accommodated.

Commencement is a very special day for you and your family, and the goal of the school is to make the experience one you will remember for years to come. We look forward to sharing this moment with you, your family, and friends.

Rollins College to Host ALPFA Members Forum Discussion

During the presentation Rollins will lead a forum discussion on their MBA program for Accounting and Finance, exploring the feasibility of having their program run in intervals instead of in consecutive semesters because of tax season. Don't miss the opportunity of being part of this dynamic discussion which stands to mold future curriculum details based on student needs.
