The Foster MBA Blue Dots are a very active bunch! The group of MBA significant others gathers regularly to provide support and companionship to one another. As many spouses/significant others have moved here with their students from outside the area, the Blue Dots offer a community to people who are new to Seattle. In addition to happy hours around town, we take turns hosting book club, game nights, potlucks, and other events to get together while being frugal. After all, we are on a student’s budget! The group uses social media, including Facebook, to coordinate events as well as answer questions regarding neighborhoods, employment help, and general Seattle information. Find out more about our events at www.facebook.com/groups/FosterMBABlueDots/. Come when you can—we hope to see you soon!
To answer the question you’re most curious about: Where did the name, Blue Dots, come from? Do we tattoo a blue dot on you or paint you in all blue as an initiation ritual? Nope, nothing of the sort. For years, UW has put blue stickers on significant other’s name tags for welcome weekend – and the name stuck. We hope you grow to love the term as much as we do.

Hey everyone! My name is Annie Claeys and I am the fiance of current 2nd year MBA student, Kennan Meitz. I have the pleasure of serving as the liaison between the Foster MBA program and all of their partners, also known as the Blue Dots!
I currently work for Agios Pharmaceuticals as a Clinical Trial Manager! I am originally from the Seattle area but have lived in Boston for the past six years before moving back to Seattle when Keenan started at Foster. In my spare time I enjoy baking, going on walks with my dog, and spending time with family and friends!
I am here to support all of our Foster partners through building community, providing resources, and being a familiar face. Having a partner in this program is a transition for the student AND those close with them. My role is to assist partners through that!
COMING SOON
