			Jim,
			 
			I was thinking that since I do not have enough
time to prepare the appplication process, it would be a good idea for me
to fax the recommendation letter forms to you first so you know what to
expect and maybe start writing. In the meantime, I will mail those forms
as well as envelopes because you have to retunrn those to me. The
envelopes would have to be signed across the seal.
			There will be a total of four schools that I am
applying to.
			   1- Yale
			   2- Boston College
			   3- University of Massachusetts
			   4- Bocconi University (Italy)
			 
			Thanks,
			Monika

				Hi -
				 
				I would contact the other finance guys
here. Who knows, they may have some great leads. As far as the letter is
concerned, I would be happy to do it. Generally, however, each grad
school has a specific recommendation form that they want references to
fill out. So let me know after you get the required info from the
schools. Typically, students just send it to me as I will probably have
to submit it directly to the grad school people as they generally want
confidential letters.

				Jim,
				 
				I did write to Eric Hughson about the
PhD program and I am waiting for his response.
				In the meantime can you write me a
recommendation letter. I know you don't like to do this but if you would
it would be great. I am planning to apply to about 3-4 schools for now.
I will mail the paperwork to you on Monday.
				Also, should I contact the other finance
professors at OSU trying to see what they can help me with?
				Thanks for all your help. I will keep
you posted.
				 
				Monika

				Hi Again Monika -
				 
				Here is what I heard from my former
professor. If I were you, I would contact Eric Hughson about CU's PhD
program in Finance. It is worth a try.
				 
				I will contact you if I hear about other
opportunities either for graduate study or employment opportunities.
Keep me posted.

				Hi Jim,
				It has been a long time between
communications.  We no longer offer an MS in Finance (however, I believe
the Denver Campus does).  We admit only one or two new students in the
Finance PhD Program each year--thus it is very competitive.  Our Finance
PhD Program coordinator is Eric Hughson and he could be contacted at
Eric.Hughson@Colorado.EDU.  Unfortunately, I don't have any specific
recommendations.

				PS--I also still like the teaching part
of the academic life and probably won't be retiring for another few
years.

				Hi Ron - 

				It certainly has been a long time since
we have communicated. I am glad to see that you have not yet retired and
either have I. Moreover, I don't have any plans to do so in the
immediate future as this job is so much fun.

				The reason I am writing is that a former
student of mine from Albania who works for Enron has been thinking for
some time that she would like to go back to school and get a Master's
Degree in Finance or PhD. Being a foreign student she needs to get some
sort of scholarship or assistantship. She graduated from OSU a year or
so ago and has been working at Enron since that time. Given what is
happening at Enron, I am not surprised that she has decided to go back
for a graduate degree.

				Our College of Business does not have
any graduate student assistantships and we also don't offer a master
degree in finance or PhD.  Monika is without a doubt one of the sharpest
students I have had in recent years. She is incredibly bright and works
very hard. 

				Does CU still offer the masters degree
in finance and still offer student assistantships. If I recall, George
Carvel was working on a MS in Finance and had an assistantship under
Maurice Unger when I was going to CU. If so, can I give Monika your name
and have her contact and perhaps forward her resume to you. Or can you
put her in touch with the right person at CU?

				If CU does not have anything available
do you know of a few schools who might so that I can pass the
information on to Monika?

				Thanks for any help you can provide. 

				Best regards, 

				Jim
