Spring Gala

Anya Thomas
Public and Nonprofit MBA, ’12

This year’s Spring Gala was at “Top of the Hub” located on the 50^th floor of the Prudential Center. The 360^o views of Boston were spectacular and BU MBAs celebrated the end of the semester in stunning dresses and classy suits.

The evening started with appetizers and dinner. After a little bit of mingling the MBA Council held a short ceremony. First the 5 professors chosen by their respective cohorts were given their awards (this year’s winners: Professor Rimer, Professor Weil, Professor Wilson, Professor Heineke, and Professor Kadaras), then next year’s MBA Council members were introduced.

Dessert was served a short time later, and after everyone had relaxed people started moving towards the dance floor. For 90 minutes the dance floor was packed as the DJ played a wide variety of songs and everyone showed their dance moves. It was exhilarating to dance while looking out over the whole city and there was a general groan when the DJ announced the last song. The Spring Gala was a wonderful time to celebrate the year and to say goodbye to the Class of 2011.
