1 Only 81 MBAs will have the 24/7 advantage. Will you be one of them?

2 Enhance the Experience In 2009 our students will be the first class to experience MBA House, our brand new graduate business residence. MBA House was developed to facilitate collaborative group learning and the exchange of knowledge and ideas. During my time at UBC, an opportunity such as MBA House did not exist. Through my many years of business experience I have realized the value of relationships, especially those created during my time at university. I see MBA House as the ideal setting to build these key friendships and learn from classmates that have international business experiences. MBA House offers exceptional housing, where students can connect with their classmates and forge lifelong relationships beyond the classroom. These relationships will enhance their time at UBC and continue throughout their careers. We are very pleased to offer MBA House as a place to call home and an opportunity to heighten your MBA experience. Robert H.
