Hello All,
The other day, I made my way down to Philadelphia. The disaster response team I am with, was asked to speak at The University of Pennsylvania's Wharton Business School. Home to what is often thought to be the most renowned MBA program in the world. (and perhaps the most expensive! All in, $93,000 for 1st year students!!)
I made the trip down with my buddy Bill, the ringleader here at NECHAMA.
Cliff notes -
listened to a professor who's expertise was in Game Theory discuss how specific types of economic policies could significantly alter the effects of natural disasters. This was fascinating to listen to. I took plenty of notes and wrote down no less than 10 words and theories to look up after class. This guy was using BIG words.
Bill spoke for an hour or so and killed it. We were all very impressed. While loading his power point presentation, he managed to announce to the class, while pointing at me, that I was single if any of the ladies were looking for a mediocre stay at home boyfriend. He is always looking out for me. What a guy.
The highlight of my trip to PENN may have actually been the leggy brunette who I convinced to give me a tour of campus. Christine Sweeney. A PENN grad herself, she showed me the finer things the campus had to offer. This meant Ben Franklin sitting on a bench and the local WAWA store amongst other things. Not too shabby. Thanks for the VIP treatment Christine. You are a doll.
A close second would have to be the Jim's cheese steaks and pizza that Bill and I crushed on the drive home.
