Published: 23 January 2017

In 2006, Professor聽Karl Moore led 69热视频 students to Omaha, Nebraska to learn from legendary investment guru, Warren Buffett. Given the tremendous success of the first visit, the Desautels Faculty of Management, along with Professor Moore, gave twenty students from Desautels another opportunity to meet with Mr. Buffett on January 20, 2017, Inauguration Day in the U.S.

During their stay, students benefited from dedicated time with Mr. Buffett who also offered them tours of three of the companies under his firm, giving students a greater sense of what it means to be one of the most prominent business leaders and philanthropists in the world.

Hear from some of this year鈥檚 participants about what they hoped to learn:
