NC State MBA team places 1st in Krispy Kreme challenge

Kudos to the 40+ Jenkins MBA students who participated in this morning's Krispy Kreme challenge.  For the second time in three years, they brought home the gold -- first place in the Casual Team category. The KK challenge involves a five mile run from the NC State Bell Tower to the downtown Raleigh KK and back, those in the Casual Team have the option to consume a dozen donuts on the way back or to take the donuts home to their family and friends.

More importantly, the KK challenge raises over $100k each year for UNC Children's Hospital.  This is one of NC State's signature events and I am heartened that so many students came out so early in the cold to participate.

Jenkins MBA team wins Krispy Kreme challenge

Kudos to the 20 Jenkins MBAs who joined me last Saturday to participate in the Krispy Kreme challenge.  The Jenkins MBA team finished in first place in the Casual Runner Teams division.  Casual Runners run the five miles but are not obliged to eat the dozen donuts.

More importantly the annual event raised $190k for the UNC Children's Hospital.  Looking forward to an even larger Jenkins MBA contingent next year.
