Jayhawks on Wall Street

Last week I had the opportunity to travel to New York City with a group of MBA students from the University of Kansas. The purpose of the trip was to raise KU's profile in New York. The trip included breakfast, a tour, and time on the floor with a specialist at the New York Stock Exchange, hence the picture above. The NYSE doesn't want people taking pictures inside the exchange, so I don't have any pictures from the floor of the exchange, only from the visitor's gallery.

The trip went well for everyone. The personal highlight was the opportunity to interview with a top-tier investment bank. This was only an initial interview, but I think it went well.

KU has done a lot of work to develop a high quality business school, and a great finance program. The school is now gearing up to do more work to get our graduates in front of top employers and improve the public profile of the school.
