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!

An early Thanksgiving feast welcomed construction workers to the Knight Center dining room.

Dean Gupta initiated the luncheon last year and extended the invitation again this year. The Aramark staff at the Knight Center was prepared to feed 150 crew members.

Tarlton is managing the 175,000 square foot construction project that is on schedule to be complete in the Spring of 2014.  A dedication ceremony will be held May 2 with a special business symposium to inaugurate the new buildings on May 3. Stay tuned for details!
