Wisconsin School of Business events this fall helped renew friendships and make new connections. On October 14-15, the Hawk Center for Investment Analysis hosted the Hawk Center Investment Conference and Reunion at Monona Terrace, followed the next day by a tailgate party at Union South prior to the Badgers’ football game against Ohio State. On November 12, Business Badgers and their families joined Bucky Badger at Grainger Hall for the Homecoming Bash before the Badgers beat Illinois. After the football game, alumni and current fellows of The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding.
