For M.B.A. students in the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University, earning their degree is about more than just taking finance and marketing classes and hoping for a decent, well-paying job on Wall Street after graduation. It’s also about helping other people. The Whitman M.B.A. students are launching a fundraising initiative to support the March of Dimes’ March for Babies, a three-mile walk at Onondaga Lake Park. The March for Babies takes place Sunday, April 26, and starts at 9 a.m. To register for the walk, visit http://www.marchforbabies.org/s_team_page.asp?SeId=679919&si.

The M.B.A. students’ fundraising goal for the March for Babies event is $1,000. For more information about the March for Babies or the M.B.A. fundraiser, contact Chinyarai Modesti ’09 M.B.A. at cmmodest@syr.edu.
