A Message from Sigrid
This week’s opening message comes to you from Jessica Raasch, on behalf of The Foster’s Planning Committee.
Have a good week,
Sigrid Olsen
Message from Jessica
"Thank you to all who came out to The Fosters on Friday. It was a special evening and everyone seemed to have a great time.
In case you missed it, we had more than 200 students and Blue Dots, plus a few special guests from the MBA Program Office, for our "Greenhouse Gala" at the UW Center for Urban Horticulture. After a cocktail reception, our Class of 2018 emcees, Seth Bergeson and Rachel Hester opened the awards ceremony with a hilarious rap about the MBA experience. Then they introduced the Class of 2019 emcees, Afa Malu and Kate Neupert, and the four of them hosted a fantastic awards presentation. After dinner, Fleetwood WACC delivered its final performance, in a greenhouse full of adoring fans. Bassist John Stewart made his vocal debut and I'm still not sure if Jordan Wall managed to catch his plane on Friday night after staying late to give an encore performance. After we cleared out of the venue, the good times continued all the way to Kate's Pub, where Foster more or less took over the bar at the end of the night.
The Fosters is a cherished tradition of our program, where we come together to recognize the many student leaders who shape our culture and make things happen. The whole thing is funded, planned, and executed each year by an all-student team of volunteers, representing both full-time classes. It takes a lot of time and energy to bring it together and your peers do all of it. If you see any of The Fosters Committee in the halls this week, please take a moment to thank them for their hard work. Specifically:
In other words, this was a massive team effort that has been in the works since February and it came together beautifully.
I know this is going to sound cheesy, but as the chair of the Fosters Committee, I am sincerely honored to have been able to play a part in this tradition before I graduate in a few short weeks. It was my way of giving back to a program that has meant so much more to me than I ever expected from an MBA. Leaving the bar on Friday night was bittersweet for me, as I know that was my last time at The Fosters and one of the last times both classes will be together. I sincerely hope everyone who came was able to enjoy all the love and gratitude in the air and I hope you had as much fun as I did.
Foster, you really are the best."
