Appointments and promotions
— Carmen Castro-Rivera is the Krannert School of Management's director of master's admissions. She will be filling a new position that resulted from the reorganization of the administration of the school's MBA and executive education programs that went into effect Feb. 1. She will be in charge of recruiting full-time students for the two-year MBA program, the two-year master of science in human resource management program and the one-year master of science in industrial administration program. In addition, she will recruit students for the Krannert School's executive education programs, with part-time degree and non-degree options for students who maintain their full-time employment.
Campus activities
