Things like:

- Your concerns, challenges and goals for your first semester in school
- What is your plan for overcoming obstacles and reaching goals?
These letters will be reviewed at the end of your first and second semesters. UBMS staff will periodically check in with you throughout the school year to see how your plans are coming along.
THIS IS A REQUIRED ASSIGNMENT AND WILL BE DUE SEPTEMBER 26TH - please note earlier date!
Idea Camp - Saturday, October 15 @ Marian University
What happens on this day?
Come in the morning of IdeaCamp and meet every attendee there, along with what topic they are interested in talking or hearing about. After opening ceremony, go to a board full of post-it notes and time slots available and mark your topic up there that you wish to speak on. Topics in the past have included: Time Travel, Agile Development, Beekeeping and 3D Printing. Speaking is optional but encouraged – everyone has something to share.
