Over the years, the Thanksgiving Feast at Olin Business School has grown to be a favorite tradition for many. The tradition started as a potluck dinner for international students under former Dean Stuart Greenbaum. The dinner was originally served by faculty and staff in Simon Hall, then moved to the Knight Center to better accommodate the number of attendees that increased annually.

This year, the Olin community looks forward to sharing this holiday tradition with several hundred of our extended Olin family of students, faculty, staff, and their guests.

Dean Gupta and his wife, Sunita, and the Aramark staff expect more than 400 guests to attend this year’s feast on Thanksgiving Day at the Charles F. Knight Executive Education & Conference Center.

Hundreds of students and alumni will participate in an Olin tradition this week when they gather at the Charles F. Knight Conference and Executive Education Center to celebrate the American feast of Thanksgiving. Buffet tables will be brimming with roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, stuffing, gravy, and pumpkin pies to feed those who are far from home or in America for the very first time to experience this holiday.

The Olin Thanksgiving tradition was initiated by former dean Stuart Greenbaum, Ph.D., the Bank of America Emeritus Professor of Managerial Leadership, to share the American holiday with international students.

Happy Thanksgiving!
