Fall 2007

Dear Robins School Community,

As the 2007–2008 school year begins, I am pleased to report that it has been a very busy and productive summer at the Robins School. Over the summer, there were significant technology upgrades to our classrooms and finance lab, increasing capabilities for faculty and students. Two of our outstanding MBA students were featured on CNBC’s television program “Fast Money,” where they both received high marks for their savvy stock trading advice. Three of our finance faculty members’ research was featured in The Economist, The New York Times, and other national and international media outlets. I invite you to read more about these stories in this fall’s edition of the Robins School Update.
