Olin offers course previews, networking events for Executive MBA program

The Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis has announced a schedule of program previews, networking events and information sessions highlighting the value of the school’s top-ranked Executive MBA program (EMBA), which prepares individuals to lead and advance their organizations.

All sessions will be held at the Charles F. Knight Executive Education Center, located at Throop Drive and Forest Park Parkway on the University’s Danforth Campus. Events are free and open to the public, however, registration is required.

Kay Henry, associate dean and director of the Executive MBA program, said, “At mid-career, many people ask questions: ‘What’s next? How can I fulfill that long-ago dream? Is there a way I can contribute more fully to my organization?’ We encourage executives who are committed to this kind of exploration to take the next step. Washington University’s Executive MBA will help position you and your firm to stay ahead of the curve in the fast-paced world of business.”

Cited by BusinessWeek as a leader in creating innovative and specialized executive education, Olin offers programs ranging from the classic Executive MBA degree to topic-focused, one-day seminars (Olin Partners’ Program) and platforms to customized corporate learning experiences that help organizations cultivate high-potential employees and manage cultural change.
