Please join us for an EMBA community networking reception on March 10 at the St. Gregory Hotel in Washington, D.C. This free event is a great opportunity to reconnect with former classmates and your favorite faculty. Vice Dean Dr. Hugh Courtney and the newly appointed Assistant Dean of Executive Programs Greg Hanifee will be in attendance to meet and reconnect.

Smith EMBA alumni and current students along with your guests are invited to attend. If you're considering the Smith EMBA program for next January, this is an excellent opportunity to learn about the program and meet former students.

The event will include a brief discussion and Q&A led by distinguished faculty member Dr. Ritu Agarwal, Dean's Chair of Information Systems and director of the Center for Health Information and Decision Systems (CHIDS), with a panel of smith EMBA alumni. The healthcare system in the United States is undergoing a radical transformation. The controversial healthcare reform bill has raised concerns on a number of significant issues. Among these issues are healthcare quality and access, a push to digitize healthcare, and an increasing national healthcare cost burden. How are various stakeholders responding to these challenges? What are the implications of the impending changes for the government, the military, the medical profession, and different types of business organizations? Join us for a night of networking and stimulating discussion as we attempt to define the new healthcare landscape.
