Business School Dinner

I was invited to attend CU-Denver Business school's Celebration of Success dinner. It's the annual fundraising event for student scholarships and faculty fellowships. Around 1,000 people from local businesses bought seats. I was invited because I've received a scholarship in the past. I was impressed. It was held in a ballroom at the Performing Arts Complex. I had no idea the business school had support from so many Denver businesses. Each year they invite a speaker. In the past, speakers have included Colin Powell, Rudy Giuliani and Mikhail Gorbachev. This year it was the former US Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich.
