A group of 27 MBA students from Penn State’s Smeal College of Business will travel to Omaha, Neb., next week to meet with Warren Buffett, chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathway and arguably the most successful investor of all time.
Highlights of the Feb. 6 trip include tours of Berkshire subsidiary companies, a two-hour meeting with Buffett, and lunch with the world’s richest man at one of his favorite Omaha steakhouses. During the meeting at Berkshire headquarters, Buffett will take questions from the students on issues ranging from his experiences in business to the state of the global economy.
The Smeal trip is part of a regular routine for Buffett, who occasionally hosts groups of MBA students from the country’s leading business schools. But for the Smeal students and those from five other universities who will be joining them, this is a unique chance to pick the brain of one of the brightest business minds ever.
Smeal, the 2nd largest business school in the country as well as one the top ranked business schools in the country will be one of the five scools chosen to have to participate.
