Beginning September 1, 2010, the Decision Sciences department will change its name to Operations Management. This means that all courses which begin with the abbreviation DSCI will begin with the abbreviation OPMT beginning September 1. All business students must take DSCI 310 – which will now be OPMT 310. All Operations Management majors who are required to take DSCI 320, 330, 340, 350, & 480 will be required to take OPMT 320, 33, 340, 350, & 480. If you have already taken a DSCI course, you will be allowed to use this course for its OPMT equivalent. If you have any questions, contact your Business Program Advisor.

UST Shuttle Bus to Minneapolis
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010Public Safety asked us to pass on some important information to students taking morning classes in Minneapolis. Here it is:
The 9:20 shuttle to Minneapolis is regularly overbooked. The extra shuttle that leaves St. Paul at 9:10 is now a larger bus and is very open. If you can adjust your schedule to catch that bus it will be a better experience for you and will also help alleviate some of the back-up that has been happening.

The Society for Human Resources Management is meeting in MCH 228 at 11:45, just down the hall from Accounting Club & their guest Eide Bailly(12-1 pm in MCH 230), and right upstairs from where the Entrepreneurship Society (12-1pm MCH 114) will be hosting Dejen Tesfagiorgis from ArtsApp.
Fortunately, Wednesday gives you a day off, since the Financial Management Association has Stalla over convo hour on Thursday the 25th. Students In Free Enterprise will be continuing to ramp up for competition in MCH 339 from 11:45-1:00. Finally, the Real Estate Society has its’ first meeting of 2nd semester in MCH 116 during convocation hour, and they’e got the Senior VP of Brokerage Services from Northmarq coming in.
