ASAP Students Meet Warren Buffett
Twenty students from the Applied Security Analysis Program (ASAP) had the opportunity to spend a day with legendary investor Warren Buffett. The students had a three-hour private meeting and luncheon with Buffett at the Field Club in Omaha on Nov. 12.
In the meeting, Buffett offered investment advice (how-to invest, not actual stock recommendations), political insights, career guidance and thoughts on life in general. Second-year student Greyson Colvin said, “His insights and comments are lessons we will remember throughout our lives and be able to carry with us throughout our careers.” Following the meeting, Buffett arranged for the group to tour the Nebraska Furniture Mart (a Berkshire Hathaway company), hosted by management.
