In our last full-club meeting of the Fall 2013 semester, we wrote appreciations for each other and shared them in the meeting. Some are signed, many are left to our imagination. Here they are, for perpetuity:
I appreciate Craig for giving us weekly workshops on finance! I’ve learned so much and it’s nice to have that element in meetings.
