Twenty University of Dayton students from the Davis Center for
Portfolio Management will be spending a day with U.S. billionaire
Warren Buffett on Friday, Oct. 21, according to a university press
release published Sept. 28.
Along with meeting and having lunch with Buffett, the students will
tour his Omaha, Neb., operations, and be able to ask him questions
about his success, according to the press release.
The operations students will tour include subsidiaries of Buffett's
Berkshire Hathway business, said Kate Morgan, a senior finance
major who is attending the event.
Buffett started building his $39 billion fortune in 1965 when he
"took over" the Berkshire Hathaway textile firm, through which he
has invested in "banks, insurance, railroads and restaurants,"
according to his profile on the Forbes magazine website.
The university will pay for the students to attend the event,
according to John Rapp, chair of the department of economics and
finance, and director of the Davis Center.
"I'm very thrilled for them," Rapp said. "It's very prestigious ...
they will be getting insights and viewpoints from the third-richest
man in the world."
Over 40 students from different majors learn about investment
through the Davis Center by managing over $9 million in the
university's endowment in equity and fixed income markets,
according to its website.
Buffett invited the UD students after declining a request to speak
at last March's R.I.S.E. XI Global Student Investment Forum,
according to the press release.
"He [Buffett] replied with a letter very soon after [the
invitation] informing me that he did not like to do appearances
such as that, but that we would be invited to come see him at one
of his Q-and-A sessions," said Kelsey Stroble, a senior finance and
accounting major who is attending the event.
R.I.S.E., an acronym for Redefining Investment Strategy Education,
is an investment conference UD holds yearly in conjunction with the
United Nations Global Compact, according to its website. The event
hosts financial professionals and experts to discuss global
investment on UD's campus, the website said.
The U.N. Global Compact is an organization which works to provide
businesses strategies for worldwide economic and social betterment,
according to its website.
Rapp said there was an interesting story behind the invitations
with Buffett.
In the invitation sent to Buffett to speak at March's R.I.S.E.
event, a UD tie was sent along too in hope that he could wear it if
he chose to accept the invitation, Stroble said.
"In the reply letter, he said he would wear it [the UD tie] to the
Q-and-A session so we are going to keep a look out for that,"
Stroble said.
Seven other universities will also attend the event later this
week, Stroble said. Boston College, Villanova University, the
University of Kansas, the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Brigham
Young University, the University of Nebraska - Lincoln and George
Mason University will all each send 20 students, she said.
Rapp said every school will have the opportunity to ask Buffett
eight questions. Buffet said he does not want to know what
questions he will be asked at the session, Rapp said.
Stroble said she is excited to meet with Buffett because of his
reputation.
"Mr. Buffett is a man who has a very large impact on the financial
world and the economy as a whole," Stroble said. "To be given the
opportunity to hear him speak and to interact with him is a very
big honor. He is very dedicated to making an impact on the students
in attendance and hopes to teach them as much as he can."
The participating UD students met Sunday, Oct. 16, to discuss what
questions they want to ask Buffett, according to Stroble.
Stroble said the students wanted to devise their questions shortly
before leaving for Omaha so they could ensure any queries they have
about the economy are up-to-date with current events.
Buffett also requested each school to send at least seven women to
the event, according to the press release.
The students who will be participating in the event are looking
forward to meeting Buffett, Rapp said.
"I am extremely excited to meet Warren Buffet," Morgan said, "More
than anything, Warren Buffet is a man that all people in this
business admire for his strong moral character and smart investing.
He is proof that you can do well in life without greed."
Other students said they think the invitation will help increase
national prestige for UD and the Davis Center.
"This is an opportunity of a lifetime and a dream come true," said
Anthony Caruso, a sophomore accounting and finance major who also
will make the trip to meet Buffett. "For the Davis Center for
Portfolio Management, to be invited to Warren Buffet's event is a
great way to spread the word about our great school and
center."
