Midweek Roundup


Latest GMAT testing updates 

As governments continue to enforce lockdowns and social distancing measures to counter the coronavirus pandemic, the epicenter of the crisis has shifted away from Asia, through Europe, and now to South America.

Consequently, the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), owner and administrator of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), has closed test centers and suspended test taking in locations around the world. 

In much of Latin America, testing is now suspended through June. In Europe however, testing has resumed with test centers reopening in much of France, Germany, Portugal, and Spain. In the US, testing is suspended in most test centers. 

Check GMAC's US Testing Center updates page for up-to-date information.

Georgia State Introduces South’s ‘Most Advanced’ Education Platform

Students in select programs at Georgia State University’s Robinson College of Business will be able to complete their courses through Robinson Anywhere, a digital teaching facility that provides high-quality remote access to Robinson’s graduate programs, beginning in the fall.

The centerpiece of the college’s new virtual capability is its Digital Board Room powered by mashme.io technology, a learning platform comprising 27 high-definition (HD) video screens, HD robotic cameras that follow instructors around the room and technology that generates augmented reality and virtual reality experiences, student polling, virtual breakout rooms and digital whiteboards. 

Robinson is the first school in the South and the third in the US with a classroom incorporating mashme.io technology, which the school says is the most advanced platform out there, following Colorado State University’s College of Business and New York University’s Stern School of Business.
