Wow. It's amazing to think that the first semester of my final year in the MBA program is complete! Grades are in, break is nearly over and I'm ready to begin the final term!
So much happened over the last six weeks! Food & Wine Club had two events,
both of which were held over Boulder's Restaurant Week, and absolutely
spectacular! Thirteen students gathered at Salt, a new restaurant in Boulder,
for a wonderful culinary experience and great service! Later that week, a large
group of students, significant others and faculty joined together for a lovely
meal at Black Cat. Overall, fall semester had great turn-out for each event and
I am so excited for this semester's events: cooking classes, wine nights and a
lovely meal at Frasca are in the works!
Warren Buffett Trip
I am also thrilled to report that for the second year, Leeds MBA students will be traveling to Omaha to meet Warren Buffett! Throughout the daylong trip, students will be visiting Berkshire Hathaway followed by lunch with 'The Oracle' himself and ending in a Q&A session where each school will ask Mr. Buffett three to five questions.
When I was selected to attend the trip I shared the news with a foodie friend of mine. He suggested that I lunch with one of his favorite customers, Ms. Herta Kahn, a peer of Warren Buffett and one of the first female stockbrokers in the US. She shared a story about being invited to the 100th birthday party of a mutual friend of her and Warren Buffett's, and having to miss due to her late husband's illness. Ms. Kahn wrote Warren Buffett a letter asking for a rain check, and shortly thereafter received a handwritten letter from Mr. Buffett asking her to attend the annual shareholder meeting in Omaha.
We shared a lovely lunch, discussed her amazing experience in the world of finance and she even shared her thoughts on dating! I hope to have the opportunity to mention my lunch date to Mr. Buffett and look forward to posting details of our trip!
