MBAA Spring Picnic

This past weekend the MBA Association hosted a spring picnic at Hessel Park in Champaign. It was an opportunity for everyone to gather and socialize. Not only were the students present at this event, professors also came with their families. Our Associate Dean, Stig Lanesskog, also join in on the festivities helping us barbecue the meats.

People also brought their families and friends and join in on some friendly touch football games. We also took this opportunity to talk about community involvement as the MBA program is currently working to raise money for the Eastern Illinois Foodbank.

Events like this gives us the opportunity to see classmates we don't meet very often. This is especially true for the MBA2s because by the time we are in the second year of the program, we often only see the classmates who have the same degree concentration. It was really great to catch up with some old friends!
