<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Global MBAs,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope you are all fine and safe.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am writing to inform you that the updated version of the schedule is now available on Outlook. Please consider that, as usual, it might take some time for the calendar to be fully uploaded in some accounts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order to be compliant with the rules of the School about online activities, as you know, last week with the help of Alessio and Federica, we have launched a survey aimed at understanding which solution you all preferred.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We received 51 answers and the winning option turned out to be scheduling classes on Saturdays (55%), in opposition to extending the academic year to the end of June (45%).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to underline that the reason behind this changing is following a general rule of the School aimed at not having more than 6 hours of teaching activities per day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The aim of this rule is that of improving your learning experience and not having you forced to spend too many hours in front of a computer, which can be stressing and affect the learning process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hope you understand that the School’s only aim is that of giving you a good educational experience, and at the same time, giving you the possibility to enter the job market as soon as the circumstances will allow to do so.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Should you have any specific concern or question, do not hesitate to ask us.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance for understanding and for your cooperation during this unusual and difficult times.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kind regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
