Active Recruiting: Wake Reaches Out to Local Prospects

Kevin Bender has a busy summer planned.

Bender, an associate director of graduate admissions at the Wake Forest University Schools of Business, expects to be a highly visible representative in coming weeks, hosting a series of meet-and-greets for various MBA programs. Wake Forest has no less than six such events planned between now and mid-July and Bender is on the schedule for at least half.

Events are scheduled in several key markets for the university’s Evening MBA program, specifically Charlotte, Greensboro and Winston-Salem. Depending on an interested party’s schedule, they can take part in a morning coffee or opt for an after hours drink at a local establishment. Admissions information, curriculum and student life are all expected to be discussed.
