Close to half of this years 218 MBA grads are traveling to Athabasca tomorrow to receive their degrees in person at Athabasca Universitys Convocation ceremony. The AU MBA Class of 2007 represents every region of Canada, the United States and several other countries including Australia, Germany, Yemen, Switzerland and Kenya. As Dr. Lindsay Redpath, Executive Director of the Centre for Innovative Management, home of Athabasca Universitys online graduate management programs notes, We have a great turnout for Convocation, reflecting the truly international character of AUs MBA program, and its impact on the Canadian and global business communities. The attendance at this years Convocation reflects the extraordinary connection that our grads have to the program, to their fellow grads, to their professors, and to Athabasca University.
Moses Abowga, MBA and head of Information Technology at the Commercial Bank of Africa in Nairobi Kenya, is one of the graduates making the journey to Athabasca. The way the degree is structured makes you feel like you are in a class with your colleagues, despite being hundreds of miles away. I almost felt like I knew people whom I had not met - the online degree was great! This will be Moses second trip to Alberta; in October of 2004, he attended a residential elective program in Calgary and experienced snow for the first time.
Also traveling to Athabasca is Rob Drew, MBA and Operations Manager for Terex Utilities in South Dakota. Partially as a result of the AU MBA, I relocated to the United States as a consultant, later Plant Manager and currently, Operatio ns Manager in South Dakota for an $8 billion US global manufacturer, says Rob. AU offered the flexibility required for my work schedule and travel. I traveled extensively during my studies and even worked on one of my courses while in Milan, Italy.
