Advanced Organizational Theory Meeting
Hi All,
I am writing to invite you to provide feedback on a new course -- Advanced Organizational Theory. By request, Evan Baum and I are currently developing a new Advanced Organizational Theory that will be offered Fall 2012 on Mondays from 4:30-7:10. We would like to get your ideas and feedback on topics, assignments, and other details of the course. The meetings are:
First Meeting (2 times are scheduled): May 8th, 7pm or May 10th, 12pm in SUB 1, room 4205
Second Meeting: August 6th, 12pm location TBD
The first meetings in May are to brainstorm ideas and receive feedback on our current plans. You only need to attend one of the May meetings. The meeting in August will help to finalize any last minute details.
We hope that you will attend to help shape this new course!
Thanks,
Jaime and Evan
