We're proud to have you as alumni and know that you will go forward with the same enthusiasm, drive and success that you have had in the Evening MBA Program. The following is a list of important upcoming events and general information: Commencement The commencement ceremony will be held on Sunday, May 26 at 9:00A.M. in the Greek Theatre (you may invite as many people as you'd like to the ceremony). We invite December 2001 and May 2002 graduates to participate in this ceremony. We plan to mail a commencement packet to your home address in March. Included you'll find information on the ceremony, caps and gowns, champagne reception tickets (minimal charge for more than 2 guests), and a commencement speaker voting ballot. Commencement information is available at the Haas Alumni Network at: http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/alumni/newgrads/evmba.html Diplomas Your diploma will be ready in the Registrar's Office, 120 Sproul Hall, about four to six months after you graduate. It can be picked up without charge. The Registrar's Office will not give it to the Evening MBA Program Office. You can have it mailed to you for a modest fee. For more information please refer to: http://registrar.berkeley.edu/Records/transdipl.html Party! Our annual Evening & Weekend MBA Program End-of-Year Reception will be in May, a celebration for everyone! All students, graduates and families are welcome. Invitations will be sent in April. Auditing Classes After you graduate you may be interested in auditing classes. A week before classes begin, please contact the Evening and Weekend MBA office to find out if there are seats available. Then, with the approval of the instructor, alums are able to audit classes for $500 per course plus the cost of books and readers, available in the office. Since there is no formal audit status at UC Berkeley, the class will not show up on grade sheets. University Bills You will likely continue to receive bills from the University after you graduate regarding Spring 2002 semester. Please ignore them. Evening News We will continue to e-mail you copies of The Evening News for the next year, as you may be interested in the activities of your classmates. Activities If you are interested in participating as alums in any of these activities, please let us know: - interviewing applicants - speaking at or attending Open Houses - participating in panel discussions (career changes, etc.) - arranging for speakers for the EWMBA Speaker Series - planning for alumni events Top Ten Things Every Haas Grad Needs to Know Includes great information on your Haas e-mail account, e-mail lists, address updates, alumni events, alumni career services, library resources: http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/alumni/newgrads/evmba.html Congratulations, and best wishes as you transition from being a HAAS student to alum.
