Welcome Back UIC Liautaud Students!

The UIC Liautaud Office is excited to invite you to participate in the fall 2012 Liautaud Assurance of Learning Case Competition event.  Test your business acumen, prepare for case interviews and network with company reps and Liautaud alums – all in one Saturday!  All students who participate will be entered into a raffle to win an iPad!

Please read the information below and to join us at the event on Saturday, September 15, 2012 in Douglas Hall.

What is the Assurance of Learning?
The AACSB, the accrediting organization of business schools, has initiated a requirement that all accredited schools measure the outcomes of their programs to assure that the schools are meeting their educational goals. UIC Liautaud has developed an assessment center culminating in a case competition. Students who entered their graduate business program in Spring 2012 or earlier are eligible to participate in the event on September 15.

Liautaud MBA Alumna, Elizabeth (Liz) Weidenaar, reflects on her experience as a judge for the Spring 2012 Assurance of Learning event. Click below to watch the video: Heading link
