A note from Jen Renshaw, Executive Education, Coles College of Business, Kennesaw State University, about this experience:

In March 2020, like most organizations across the globe, we had to adapt to conducting our business in a completely new way. We took all our traditional face-to-face, instructor-led programs to virtual delivery in less than a week. The first few sessions weren’t perfect but got the job done. We were grateful to have the opportunity to continue the learning journey with our participants. We gave each other encouragement, shared best practices, and laughed at our gaffes and missteps. Fast forward a few months and we’ve settled into inhabiting this new normal of distance learning for Executive Education – and we keep learning.

In these strange and challenging times, please consider joining the inaugural cohort of the Virtual Certified M&A Professional Program. I promise, this is not just another Zoom webinar – this is an immersive and interactive learning experience that provides all of the same information and access to faculty as our traditional program – and we will have a little bit of fun along the way with your online cohort. I hope to see you in September!
