October 20-22, 2011
The Alliance of Minority Business Students and the MBA Admissions Office are excited to host the MBA Minority Preview Weekend: Inside Kenan-Flagler (IKF) October 20-22, 2011 here in Chapel Hill. Since 1987, IKF has provided an opportunity for us to bring a select group of diverse, top-caliber prospective full-time MBA applicants to campus to experience UNC Kenan-Flagler and Chapel Hill in-person. This year’s IKF participants will experience interactive panels and workshops, social activities and opportunities to engage members of the MBA Admissions Committee, current students, faculty, staff, and UNC Kenan-Flagler alumni.
UNC values diverse voices as integral to the MBA learning experience. Our goal in continuing this long-held tradition of commitment to diversity is to increase awareness of the strength of the UNC MBA among students who are underrepresented in American business schools, specifically African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native American/American Indians. UNC Kenan-Flagler strives to enroll talented MBAs each year from all walks of life and experiences, maintaining an overall class diversity across the spectrum. With that in mind, we are very excited to invite you to join us in Chapel Hill for Inside Kenan-Flagler this year.
This is a great time to visit UNC Kenan-Flagler. The weather is phenomenal here in the fall. And IKF is a fun and in-depth event where you will be immersed in the program and have a lot of fun. Hotel accommodations, meals and transportation are provided during IKF. But space is limited and all participants must submit a brief event application to receive an invitation to attend. IKF invitations will be distributed on a rolling basis, so apply early!
We hope that you will join us for this unique on-campus opportunity!
