  • Quarantine Information for Simon Graduate Students
    Quarantine Information for Simon Graduate Students What is quarantine? Quarantine means staying in your house for the duration of a 14-day incubation period and monitoring yourself for any potential signs of infection. Quarantining means that you can’t go out—not to work, school, or public places. While it is vital to keep in touch with friends, significant others, and family via phone or text, it is not possible to spend any time with them during the 14 days. Who must quarantine? All graduate students arriving from hot spot states or from an international location should plan to quarantine for 14 days in their graduate housing space or their off-campus residence. Quarantine must be completed prior to coming on campus for any reasons. Please see the list of restricted states for a current list of the states designated as COVID-19 hot spots. Students traveling from these states will be required to quarantine for 14 days. Students arriving from international locations also are required to quarantine for 14 days, per CDC guidance. Students from states designated as hot spots who plan to arrive on campus for the start of the semester may quarantine on their own in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut) or in any state not on the NYS list of restricted states for 14 days prior to their scheduled move-in date. When should I arrive in Rochester if I need to do a 14-day quarantine? If you wish to participate in person for Welcome Week starting August 17, you should start your quarantine by August 2.

    EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI AND ADVANCEMENT SIMON BUSINESS SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER ROCHESTER, NEW YORK THE SEARCH The University of Rochester seeks an experienced and ambitious executive director of alumni and advancement (Executive Director) for the Simon Business School (Simon). Both the University and Simon are at exciting and transformative moments in their respective histories. The University welcomed Sarah C. Mangelsdorf as its new president in July 2019, and in July 2020, Simon welcomed its eighth dean, Sevin Yeltekin, who most recently served as the Rohet Tolani Distinguished Professor of Economics and senior associate dean of education at Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business. These milestones present an exceptional opportunity for a dynamic, seasoned, and forward-thinking advancement professional to join the University and Simon as they chart a new course into the future, and to play a key role expanding the philanthropic capacity of Simon. Founded in 1850, the University of Rochester is one of the nation’s leading research universities and is the cultural, artistic, and educational leader for the region. The university’s motto, Meliora, embodies the goals of the University, which are to “learn, discover, heal, create – and make the world even better.” The University is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities and is regularly ranked in the top 35 national universities by U.S. News and World Report. Simon, one of the nation’s leading graduate education institutions, offers full-time, part-time, and executive MBA programs, as well as other Master of Science programs. In addition, the School offers substantial academic research opportunities and PhD programs in several disciplines.

The residency session is very busy, so review the student handbook, IT information and any other information thoroughly and carefully. The web site and student handbook include information about what to bring and what is available to you in Rochester—at the University, the hotel, and in the community. This way you will be prepared before you arrive. If you have any questions, you may contact the program office.

You received your account information shortly before you started the MBA Program; this included NetID information, but the NetID must be initialized by the student.

Simon Business School has built that reputation on its own ambition and creative initiatives—and on the over 50 years of accomplishment. With origins as a regional business school enrolling primarily undergraduate students, the Simon school has grown to an internationally acclaimed graduate institution. Today, nearly half of our MBA candidates come from other countries—the highest percentage of international students among many of America’s leading business schools. From an original Rochester business faculty of three members, Simon Business School has grown to a faculty of 72 renowned industry experts. Most are graduates of the nation’s top 25 business schools—including Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Northwestern, Stanford and Wharton—among whose ranks Simon Business School is listed. Extraordinarily productive in research, our faculty is equally committed to teaching—another distinction of a Simon Business School education. Over the course of its history, more than 13,000 students have graduated from the School. They are managing, leading and contributing across a wide range of enterprises throughout the world: in business, government and nonprofit organizations, and universities: in finance, banking, manufacturing and marketing.

    Joel Seligman Report to the Faculty Senate October 18, 2016 Let me frame where we are in strategic terms and conclude by highlighting that we now are ready to ascend to the Next Level. Background [Opening SLIDE] We have come a long way since 2005 when we began together. [SLIDE 2] In 2004, we had 8,300 students; we now have more than 11,100 students, an increase of more than 33 percent. [SLIDE 3] Our average two-score-equivalent SAT for undergraduates in Arts, Sciences and Engineering has risen from 1304 in 2004 to 1391 today, an increase from the 87th to the 96th percentile. [SLIDE 4] We have grown from 2,009 faculty and instructional staff in 2004 to 2,560 today. [SLIDE 5] Our budget has grown from $1.66 billion in 2004 to $3.63 billion today. [SLIDE 6] Our endowment payout has decreased from 6.9 percent in 2000 to 5.7 percent this year. [SLIDE 7] We have grown from 20,041 full- and part-time employees in 2005 to 28,923 full- and part-time employees in 2016. [SLIDE 8] Where we once had two hospitals, we now have a six- hospital system as well as Accountable Health Partners with 1,940 providers, five urgent care centers, and three ambulatory care centers. 2 [SLIDE 9] The Meliora Challenge capital campaign concluded on June 30 of this year, raising more than $1.373 billion, 14 percent above our initial $1.2 billion goal. The campaign resulted in adding 103 endowed professorships, deanships and directorships, and providing more than $225 million in student support, creating 388 new endowed scholarships and fellowships during the campaign.
