The 43rd Executive MBA class arrived at the Charles F. Knight Education Center this week for Go! Week orientation. The fall cohort includes 52 world-class executives, including 14 in Olin’s inaugural Denver cohort.

They gathered on Sunday, September 15, meeting for the first time as a collective cohort and sharing their “Why.” In an inspirational hour that includes statements from the practical to the aspirational, the focus was 100% on this group of individuals who yearned to come together as a team.
