Fashion and Design Featured at Alma Graduate School Experience

    NEW YORK, NY, May 02, 2010 /University PR News/ -- Celebrating the end of the inaugural term at the Alma Graduate School, the University of Bologna is hosting an event to introduce the United States to their International MBA program on Tuesday, May 4th at the Staff USA Showroom in the heart of Chelsea in New York City. The one year MBA program focuses on design, fashion and luxury goods in the North of Italy, a hotbed of these industries and a region synonymous with style. In a down economy when many adults are looking to further their education, the University of Bologna is encouraging prospective students to check out their advanced MBA program and gain a more unique edge.

"We are really excited to present our program and get the word out to potential students in the United States," said Professor Angelo Manaresi, Marketing Professor and Director of the MBA program. "Italy and the US have such an important relationship, and much like Italy, New York is a mecca of design and luxury. We hope to attract that key demographic of professionals who want to further develop their business skills and have a memorable graduate school experience."

On Tuesday, May 4th, prospective students and press are invited to learn more about the University of Bologna Alma Graduate School MBA program at the Staff USA Showroom, located at 220 West 19th Street, 10th floor in New York City. Ducati Motorcycles will make cameo appearances, an example of an Italian company that expresses high design combined with great craftsmanship, a cornerstone of the Alma Graduate School program. The evening will be hosted by Dean, Professor Bergami and graced by Claudio Del Vecchio, owner, chairman and CEO of Brooks Brothers and Teodora Sevastakieva, export director of Ferragamo Parfums as keynote speakers. In addition, star chef Cesare Casella from Salumeria Rosi will be providing delicious Italian fare for the evening.

The Alma Graduate School is currently accepting applications from all countries. The program will be taught in English, with intensive Italian language programs offered prior to the start of the academic year. The 2010 fall semester will accept applications through June 28th.
