Management courses - Spring 2011

Hi Advisors! Can you please share the following information with your students if they seek advice about CoM classes or changing majors to Business Administration?



Classes non-CoM majors should consider: While most CoM classes are closed to non-majors at this time, non-CoM students should consider taking any of the following CoM classes that are currently open to all non-majors (descriptions of these are below): MGT 3000, 3150, 3078, 4191, and 4670.



Date that CoM classes open to non-majors: CoM classes will open to non-CoM students on April 25 at 9 a.m. While a few classes will be still be restricted to MGT majors, most will open to non-majors on this date.



Overloads and Permits: The COM does not issue overloads. We open all our seats during registration and we have a first-come, first-serve approach to our classes, encouraging students to register early to secure their classes. Please advise your students that they should not approach CoM professors for overloads since CoM professors are not authorized to overload students into their classes. Many of our classes open again in Phase II as students start to drop classes.


Pre-reqs:
We do not waive pre-reqs on CoM classes. Fortunately, very few of our intro classes have pre-reqs. The pre-reqs that exist on our classes have been assigned by the faculty and are fundamental to success in the course. Please advise students not to approach CoM professors about waiving pre-reqs.


Change of Major: The COM will not hold change of major meetings during registration. The remaining change of major meetings for this semester are listed at: http://www.mgt.gatech.edu/programs/under/prospective/change_major.html. Please ask your students who are considering changing majors to Business Administration to attend one of the remaining meetings. We will not meet with non-CoM students during registration since we need to focus our advising time on current CoM students.


Degree name change: The Board of Regents approved the College of Management to change our undergraduate degree name to Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA). This degree name is more in line with our peer institutions and what employers expect. Current BS Management students can retain their MGT degree name or change to the BSBA degree. All change of major students joining the College of Management after January 17, 2011 will be BS Business Administration. Starting summer 2011, all new freshmen and transfer students will be admitted to the BSBA degree as the B.S. Management degree will no longer be offered to new students. For more information about this degree name change, see our website: http://www.mgt.gatech.edu/programs/under/current/bsba_info.html



Classes Non-CoM students should consider:

Upon completion, the student will have a basic understanding of what it takes to start a business, develop a business concept and feasibility study, and determine whether they have an interest in further studies in the entrepreneurial field.



MGT 4670 - Entrepreneurship (MGT 3300 and Acct 2101 or MGT 3000 pre-reqs)
This course provides an introduction to the process of establishing a technology-based new venture, and examines the entrepreneurial approach to business development and growth. The learning experience is designed to expose students to the entrepreneurial process of new venture creation with a focus on technology entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is viewed in this course as long-term value creation. Accordingly, the course will focus on a study of the activities associated with the assessment, creation, development, and successful operation of high potential new and emerging ventures. Course participants, working in a small team environment, will have the opportunity to develop their new venture management skills through a combination of classroom exercises, case analysis, and existing business plan analysis; and through the development of a detailed opportunity analysis and venture business plan.

Summer or Fall Internships: GT Division of Professional Practice

See news flash at http://www.gtip.gatech.edu/Newsflash.php


1) Summer or Fall Internships: It’s not too late to look for a summer internship!

To get started, create a new student intern account on our job database, P2D2, attend an upcoming Intern Orientation (every Thursday through April 21 from 11AM-Noon in the Student Success Center), and then meet with a DoPP advisor for resume and job search assistance.

2) Registering a Summer Internship: If you have accepted a summer internship, don’t miss the chance to register your internship with DoPP! Any internship - regardless of how you found it - can be registered with DoPP as long as it is related to your major and at least 10 weeks in length.

Registering your internship will allow you to gain the following benefits:

· Allows you to register for a free audit-credit internship course, which does not affect financial aid or scholarships, including HOPE.

· Ensures that your internship appears on your GT transcript.

· Causes you to maintain full-time student status and ensures that you maintain your health insurance coverage.

· Provides you with documents to help you set goals and obtain feedback from your internship supervisor.

· Allows academic department to know where their students are interning which often results in more future internship opportunities.


To Register Your Internship: Schedule a meeting using P2D2 or contact your intern advisor. Our intern advisors, Mary Fisher and Ann Blasick, each work with specific majors; be sure to contact the advisor assigned to your major. Please note that your intern advisor will need a copy of your offer letter or offer email.



The last day to register a summer internship is the end of Phase II Registration, May 20, but don’t wait until the last minute.

Industry Insights Panel Discussion - March 15, 2011

Alpha Pi Mu, the Industrial Engineering Honor Society, is hosting a professional panel discussion on Tuesday, March 15 from 6:00pm-8:00pm in MGT 100. We have invited guest speakers from Accenture, and McKesson, as well as Entrepreneur Jay McDonald, among others. The purpose of this panel is to educate attendees about the various industries that Georgia Tech students go into upon graduation. Since we have representatives from several different industries, including Consulting, Entrepreneurship, and Corporate America, I'm confident that students from the school of Chemistry will benefit from this panel discussion.

Furthermore, students will have the opportunity to network on a one to one basis with the panelists upon the conclusion of the question answer session. I strongly believe that students will have a lot to gain from this panel, and I would really appreciate it if you could send the following email to the Chemistry student lists. The panel is open to students of all class levels and majors. Thanks for your time.

The Neuroscience Club at Georgia Tech (recently created) is an
excellent opportunity to network with students currently involved in
research pertaining to neuroscience (neurolabs), to gain hands-on
volunteer experience that is neuroscience specific (Autism Spectrum
disorders, Parkinson's, etc.), to learn about the implications of
research in the field of neuroscience, and to push GT into making a
neuroscience minor. We are planning many partnerships with GSU and
Emory, but the club will officially start in August. Right now, I'm
trying to get the word out there to gauge the level of interest in the
undergrad community, and to see what exactly members would like to see
out of the club. More information is provided about the club in the
Club Constitution and Action Plan for the 2011-2012 year, available from Dr. Shepler.

If interested, you can become a member at @ http://www.gtneuro.net by
making a username and password, and commenting on the main feed with
the information requested on the website.

Academy Savant at Pittcon - 2011

Academy Savant is a developer, publisher and distributor of laboratory education and training programs, focusing on different types of Spectroscopy and Chromatography, General Lab Techniques and Safety.

Next week we are participating in the Pittcon Expo being held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta (www.pittcon.org/expo/index.php). No doubt you know that this international show is one of the largest meetings in the field of analytical techniques. This email is to request you to help us find a couple of students to help out at our booth.

We need 2 presentable, confident, extrovert and friendly students to work 4-hour shifts Monday March 14th to Wednesday March 16th. It will be an excellent opportunity for graduating or post-graduate chemistry students who are about to enter the job market. Besides the Pittcon ‘Employment Bureau’ (www.pittcon.org/attendees/employment.php), they will be able to attend presentations, meet people in the industry, and walk around the whole exhibition and gain detailed knowledge of the world of chemistry after school.

The students will be compensated for their work, and admission to the Show will be paid for by Savant. Their job will be to attract passersby into the booth, determine their field(s) of interest and then give them relevant literature.

We would appreciate it very much if you could talk to your students and send us some names & contact details as soon as possible. We need to explain their responsibilities directly to them in advance of the conference.

To familiarize the students (and possibly yourself too) with Academy Savant, I am attaching a brief background note. Please also take a look at the information available on our website at www.academysavant.com.

Please feel free to call or email me, or have the students contact me directly: 1-800-472-8268 (800-4-SAVANT) – note we are 3 hours behind you! – or rabin@academysavant.com.

Thank you very much for your help.
