Graduation Weekend

Well the time has now come and gone. I'm now an MBA!!! Hard to believe that I could jam so many things into 2 years time. It feels like only yesterday that I packed my car and made the drive south to Berkeley. So much has happened in the last two years, from classes to case competitions to exciting travels around the world...Business School has definitely been an adventure!

Graduation was at the Greek Amphitheatre on the Berkeley campus on Friday, May 16th. The weather was gorgeous, perhaps a little too warm. We all melted under our black robes during the two hour ceremony. Bengt Baron the CEO of V&S Group (Absolut Vodka is one of the most well-known brands) gave the commencement address.

After graduation there was a celebration by the clock tower. It was great to see everyone with their friends and family. My mom and sister made the trip down for the weekend and my uncle even flew up for the day. After the reception we headed to the Claremont Hotel for a cocktail before my uncle had to leave for the airport. Later on, Jean, my mom and I had a fantastic dinner at one of my favorite spots, Wood Tavern.

Check out a few picts from graduation.
