Table Size and Assignments

Because we hope to create an atmosphere conducive to social networking, companies will be given the use of a cocktail-height table and will not need to ship large displays - saving your company money and time! Interactions with business cards and simple company brochures will cut costs and allow for meaningful connections between company representatives and students.

Each organization will be provided with one small cocktail table (approximately 2.5 feet in diameter and 3.5 feet tall). We will provide a white table cloth or you can bring your own company branded cloth. Your organization will also be provided with a laminated sign displaying your company logo.

 


This layout also provides company representatives the opportunity to move throughout the event and network with students while overlooking the football field.

Table assignments are recorded on a first come first served basis. However, preferential placement is given to Walton College outreach board members.

  • Well-trained Undergraduates
     
    Business executives often tell collegiate business schools that business problems are interdisciplinary and students need to be better able to integrate business disciplines. Our faculty responded to this environment by developing an innovative business core curriculum. This curriculum pushes the frontier of business education beyond efforts currently in existence at any major U.S. research university. Our curriculum replaces traditional business core courses with integrated courses based on business processes that are essential for any organization to be successful.

    The Walton College encompasses the following undergraduate majors: Accounting, Economics, Finance, General Business, Information Systems, International Business, Marketing, Management, and Transportation & Logistics. All business majors are encouraged to attend the Business Career Fair Express. All U of A students are invited to attend the Business Career Fair Express.
     
  • MBAs Like No Other
     
    The Golden Triangle: IS, Logistics, Marketing
    Three forces have helped to revolutionize the CPG and retail industries - the golden triangle of information systems, logistics, and marketing. The revolution in retailing is based on shared information and data not just within a company, but across companies, from suppliers to vendors to retailers. Logistics models applied to that information in turn help to drive out inefficiency and deliver better value to consumers and better profit margins throughout the supply chain. Finally, marketing savvy, from purchasing, to consumer insights, from merchandising to in-store promotion and marketing, are undergoing significant change. The synergy among these three areas is vital to the ongoing strategy and success of the CPG and retail industries. By leveraging our strengths in these three disciplines and using them as the foundation of the Walton College MBA program, our graduates gain a distinct advantage in the post-MBA career marketplace.

    From theory to practice
    Every MBA program is faced with finding the right balance between theory and practice, between academic rigor and professional relevance. The MBA program at the Walton College is designed with this balance in mind: providing rigorous academic training and a strong theoretical base in the core courses with courses that are directly relevant to particular career paths in the CPG and retail industries. Every MBA student takes the 28 credit-hour core including economics, accounting, finance, marketing, strategic management, and information management. Students then choose a 12 credit-hour career track or concentration area that leads to a specific post-MBA career path. Finally, students can customize their MBA further by selecting from an array of 1 credit-hour professional development seminars designed to add the cutting edge skills that grab the attention of corporate recruiters. Real world applications are also emphasized in the 3-hour consulting project and the summer internships.
     
  • Master of Information Systems
     
    The Master of Information Systems is designed to provide professional preparation for positions in business and government. It is designed with sufficient flexibility to meet the needs of students with various backgrounds and foster lifelong learning and innovation. Students may concentrate in one of five areas:
    1. Information Technology Management
    2. Enterprise Resource Planning Management
    3. Telecommunications Management
    4. Software Engineering Management
    5. Transportation/Logistics Technology Management
