Acton School of Business Poised for Growth with Opening of New Campus

One-of-a-Kind Technology Enhances School's Acclaimed Socratic
Method Approach
AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)--
The Acton School of Business celebrates its fifth anniversary with
the opening of a new, permanent campus. Complete with an innovative
video recording and review technology system designed specifically for
the school, the campus represents an exciting advancement for the
nationally-recognized MBA program in Entrepreneurship.

"Having a permanent facility to accommodate future growth and
house our one-of-a-kind video recording and review system is a major
milestone for Acton," said Georgia Thomsen, Acton executive director.
"Our video technology system allows our students and faculty an
opportunity unlike no other MBA program. Building on our classroom
discussion format, students will have this additional tool to study
more confidently, learn more diligently and produce the best work
possible - all irreplaceable tools when preparing to start and run
your own business."

The Acton MBA in Entrepreneurship is a deep-immersion program
taught by successful entrepreneurs using the Socratic Method which
allows students to learn through classroom discussion and debate. The
new facility's video technology system includes Sony AIU
high-definition cameras which will record each class, with special
emphasis on capturing discussion highlights. Recordings will be posted
online two hours after each class ends, creating a forum for students
and teachers to continue the debate outside of the classroom.

Acton has been preparing students to start and run their own
businesses for five years, graduating 110 students in different stages
of their journey towards achieving success. Acton's Class of 2009, its
largest yet, will formally kick-off the opening of the new facility
when classes begin in late August. Joining the faculty this year are
experienced, successful entrepreneurs William Jones, vice president of
energy development for Ziff Brothers Investments, and Ted Beasley,
master executive coach of Giant Leaders.

"Every faculty member at Acton is devoted to preparing talented
and dedicated students for extraordinary lives as principled
entrepreneurs," said Steven Tomlinson, Acton Master Teacher. "The
addition of experienced teachers passionate about giving back, like
William and Ted, moves us further in the right direction - building
the best school in the country for learning to run a business while
developing character and adding meaning to the life you are living."

The Acton School of Business campus, located at 1404 East
Riverside Dr. in Austin, houses a 60-seat amphitheater, study areas
and offices.
