Tippie Advance Weekend


Scavenger Hunt Team

Photos:

We are excited to announce Tippie Advance Weekend 2008. Advance weekend is a unique opportunity for prospective students to experience life at Tippie, to meet current students, and to get answers to those "need-to-know" questions. You will attend sessions on academics and career services, experience Tippie's social life, tour Iowa City, and learn more about housing, and student clubs.

We believe that one of the best ways to make the right decision about where you will spend the next two years is to visit the school. Tippie Advance will give you added insight to the culture and social life of both the Tippie Program and Iowa City. In addition, you will meet your future peers and teammates. More than a campus visit, Tippie Advance will help you prepare for your MBA Experience.

We hope you will take this opportunity to learn more about Tippie and look forward to seeing you in April!
