MBA 2001 reunion weekend
26
Becky Schutt (MBA 2004) reports “The Alumni of New York City were delighted to welcome Professor Arnoud De Meyer and Jonathan Badger of the Cambridge University Foundation to the Apple that is Big in late November 2006. We shared drinks and M&Ms at the Library Bar at the Regency Hotel and learned about Professor De Meyer’s adventures in Cambridge
thus far. He also provided us with his thoughtful vision for the Judge, with special attention paid to the role of alumni. Following the M&Ms and talk with Professor De Meyer, some of the alums ventured uptown to a Park Avenue penthouse, home of a Cambridge graduate, for the Cambridge in America holiday party. There, we enjoyed sweeping views of
New York City from the terrace, conversations with Cambridge graduates and, of course, the holiday crackers. Great to see Dan Cohen (MPhil 2000), Morgan Davis (MPhil 1997), Helen Ervin (MBA 2004), Michael Jakob (MPhil 1991), Carol Ng (MBA 2001), Nadine Surur (MBA 1995) and Emmanuelle Vernhes-Koudella (MBA 1999)”
Varsity weekend
The Business School was delighted to welcome back almost fifty guests for the recent MBA 2001-2002 Reunion Weekend. A Friday night drinks reception marked the start of an enjoyable weekend; which culminated on the Sunday with a ‘survivors’ farewell lunch in Grantchester. The weekend was a great success with MBA 2006 Vs
MBA 2001 alumni in both football and cricket, as well as a highly enjoyable mini lecture series showcasing individual members of the class. A formal Reunion Dinner at Trinity Hall was also held on the Saturday evening. Thanks to Max Purser, Marie Taylor and Angeli Weller for organising a superb reunion weekend!
