On behalf of the faculty, staff and students of the UT Dallas Naveen Jindal School of Management, I want to extend our warmest welcome to all participants coming to our school to attend the 2018 Online MBA (OMBA) Conference.
This is the second annual OMBA conference. A simple discussion around a conference table three years ago led to its creation, and it now serves as a national gathering for dialogues about improving online MBA programs.
The 2018 OMBA Conference, I feel sure, will spawn program improvement ideas, spark research activity and provide excellent networking opportunities for collaboration-building between colleagues.
The scope of this event, Online MBA – Keeping Pace with the Future, invites program decision- makers to bring and test new ideas, and prepare to move them forward in the changing PMBA landscape.
I hope that over these three days, some successful collaborations are born.
I would like to thank the distinguished invited speakers for attending and for their contributions to the conference. I also thank the advisory board members for their efforts in ensuring a rigorous review process to select high quality presentations.
Dr. Hasan Pirkul,
Dean and Caruth Chair of Management
