The Johnson School will be hosting recruiting events at the Four Seasons Hotel
in Boston at 200 Boylston Street on May 11 and 12. The events begin at 6:00
p.m. Interested people can register for an event or learn more about the
program by visiting www.cornellemba.com.

"The executive MBAs enrolled in the Johnson School's programs bring a rich and
diverse perspective to the classroom," said Joe Thomas, Dean of the Johnson
School at Cornell University. "From students who are launching a jet racing
league to others in powerful positions in state government, our executive MBA
programs bring together an international community of exceptional
professionals who learn and network with each other."

Students in the Cornell-Queen's Executive MBA program are organized into
Boardroom Learning Teams of approximately six to eight people and 60 percent
of courses are delivered via a series of boardroom sessions using interactive
multipoint videoconferencing. The balance of the courses is delivered during
three on-campus residential sessions. Videoconferencing classes are held three
Saturdays per month during the seventeen-month program. Participants are
located in the United States and Canada, with Cornell and Queen's sharing the
teaching responsibilities equally. Within the U.S., the program is now offered
in New Hampshire, Georgia, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Washington, and
Washington D.C.

Graduates of the program earn two MBA degrees -- one from Cornell and a
separate, second MBA degree from Queen's -- and are full-fledged alumni of
both schools. The Cornell-Queen's Executive MBA Program enrolls students who
meet the same high academic standards required for the Johnson School's MBA,
Accelerated MBA and Executive MBA programs.

The all-inclusive fee of $99,800 covers tuition, books, cases, learning
materials, meals and accommodations during residential sessions, as well as
travel, lodging and expenses for a one-week international business project.
The fee also covers all of the software required for the program and in-house
technical support. For more information about the program visit:

"Now more than ever, working professionals should be looking to gain new
skills and broaden their employment opportunities and network," said Danny
Szpiro, director of the program. "Our general management approach teaches
working professionals the skills they need to move further in their career
with their current employer or gain new skills to seek alternative employment.
We're thrilled to be offering the program to professionals in New Hampshire
and Massachusetts."
