Join your fellow Washington area Tepper alumni for a trip to one of DC�s premiere museum venues � the International Spy Museum on Saturday, November 13, 2004 at 2:00 p.m.

Experience an afternoon of espionage as we tour both the permanent collection and the special limited engagement exhibition �The Enemy Within�. And after your tour, join us for happy hour across the street at Gordon Biersch Brewery.

Advance payment is required and can be made by credit card via the secure link at: http://www.tepper.cmu.edu/alumni/dc

For those who have not yet experienced this exciting DC venue, the International Spy Museum is the only public museum in the world solely dedicated to the tradecraft, history, and contemporary role of espionage. The Museum's permanent exhibition presents the tradecraft of espionage through the stories of individuals and their missions, tools and techniques. Exhibits feature the largest collection of international espionage artifacts ever placed on public display -- many for the first time. These artifacts, combined with historic photographs, state-of-the-art audio visual programs, computer interactive displays and special effects, reveal the strategies and techniques of the men and women behind some of the most secret espionage missions in world history.

Even if you�ve been before, don�t miss �The Enemy Within.� This special exhibit reveals dramatic episodes in American history, from 1776 to the present, when the US was attacked at home. How the country acted -- and sometimes over-reacted-- resulted in the evolution of US counterintelligence and security measures that have positioned the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, and the vigilance of every American, to contend with the enemy within today.

Shakespeare Theater & MBA Reception

Location: The Skyline Room, Chicago Shakespeare Theater

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business Chicago Alumni Chapter

The University of Chicago GSB Club has invited the Tepper School of Business Alumni to a very special evening of Shakespeare and networking on Oct 20, 2004. This is the first of our joint alumni events with other leading business school in the Chicago area.

The evening begins with a reception at 5:30 pm in the Skyline Room. The Skyline Room looks out over the Monroe Street harbor and Chicago skyline from the top floor of the Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier. Drinks are included and ample hors d'oeuvres will be available to get you through the play without hunger pangs. (For those with season tickets, there is a reception only option and tickets can be exchanged. Just mention the event so that you can be seated with the group.)

Barring any last minute emergencies, Barbara Gaines, Artistic Director, and Criss Henderson, Executive Producer, plan on joining us. Barbara founded the Shakespeare Theater and has directed a number of its plays, including the performance this evening. Criss has produced the past 14 seasons of the Shakespeare Theater and oversaw the development and construction of the Theater's new $24 million facility on Navy Pier.

Following the reception, we will take our seats in the theater for a 7:30 curtain of Merry Wives of Windsor, the only one of his plays that opens the door and lets us walk through into the domestic life of the playwright's provincial England. Once inside, we meet the upstanding citizens of Windsor, whose everyday lives are not unlike our own - that is, until one Sir John Falstaff arrives in the town intending to repair his flagging fortunes. As short on scruples as he is on cash, Falstaff sets out to woo two very respectable, very married Windsor women.

To learn more about the theater, its awards and the productions, visit: http://www.chicagoshakes.com

Tickets for this special evening will be sold on a first come, first serve basis, with registration restricted after Sept. 12. 2004. Full details about the event and registration information can be found at:

Columbia: Are Rising Interest Rates Changing...

Location: Merrill Lynch, 200 Park Avenue

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business New York City Alumni Chapter

The Columbia Business School Alumni Club/NY Finance & Banking Committee, with generous support from Merrill Lynch, presents...
Are Rising Interest Rates Changing the Rules of the Game on Wall Street?

An Informed Panel of Experts Debates the Situation and Alternative Approaches

� Ramy Tadros, Director, Insurance Practice, Mercer Oliver Wyman
� Stefan Walter, VP Financial Sector Policy and Analysis, Federal Reserve Bank of New York
� A speaker from JPMorgan Chase TBD

In the past, rising interest rates have often had dramatic impact on financial markets. In the current environment, the impact of rising interest rates has so far been more mitigated. We have gathered a panel of experts to take a closer look at the way rising interest rates could change the rules of the game in financial markets. Specific discussion topics will include:

� How much pressure is there currently on interest rates?
� What areas of financial services are most vulnerable in the current environment?
� How can businesses protect themselves against rising interest rates?
� Are these shifts likely to have a longer term impact, or are they more short-term in nature?

Discussion preceded by hors doeuvres & drinks

YOU MUST BE REGISTERED TO ATTEND! RSVP & Registration: CBSAC/NY & NYBSC members $15; Others: $25. Register at www.cbsacny.org or send a check to CBSAC/NY 380 Lexington Avenue, SUITE 1700, New York, NY 10168. Any questions about the program, call 212-551-1013.

Book to be discussed:

Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty
by Muhammad Yunus

From Ravi: This book is 288 pages, I'd like to cover at least the first half of the book. It is an inspirational story about how 1 man made a difference using the tools of finance. The book should be available in the library.

Book Deion:

This autobiography of the world-renowned, visionary economist who came up with a simple but revolutionary solution to end world poverty -- micro-credit -- has become the classic text for a growing movement.

In 1983 Muhammad Yunus established Grameen, a bank devoted to providing the poorest of Bangladesh with miniscule loans. He aimed to help the poor by supporting the spark of personal initiative and enterprise by which they could lift themselves out of poverty forever. It was an idea born on a day in 1976 when he loaned $27 from his own pocket to forty-two people living in a tiny village. They were stool makers who only needed enough credit to purchase the raw materials for their trade. Yunus's loan helped them break the cycle of poverty and changed their lives forever. His solution to world poverty, founded on the belief that credit is a fundamental human right, is brilliantly simple: loan poor people money on terms that are suitable to them, teach them a few sound financial principles, and they will help themselves.

Yunus's theories work. Grameen Bank has provided 3.8 billion dollars to 2.4 million families in rural Bangladesh. Today, more than 250 institutions in nearly 100 countries operate micro-credit programs based on the Grameen methodology, placing Grameen at the forefront of a burgeoning world movement toward eradicating poverty through micro-lending.

Directions: It is in the Fox News Bldg on the northwest Corner of 48th Street and 6th Avenue. Take the B,D,F or V to 47-50th St and 6th Avenue (Rockefeller Center).

BearingPoint Leadership Forum - Laws of Leadership

Location: Pyramid Club

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business Philadelphia Alumni Chapter

Speaker: Michael Feiner, former Chief People Officer at PepsiCo

All Tepper School of Business alumni are invited to attend the following event in Philadelphia:
"Laws of Leadership"
Michael Feiner, former Chief People Officer at PepsiCo
Wednesday, July 21st 2004 from 8:00 am to 10:00 am
Pyramid Club

The Graduates Club, formerly The MBA Company, is very excited to invite you
to our upcoming Leadership Forum event, sponsored by BearingPoint, in
Philadelphia on Wednesday, July 21st.. This event is part of the
BearingPoint Leadership Forum, a series of free events we are hosting
throughout the US featuring today's business thought leaders on a variety of
critical business issues. The upcoming event in Philadelphia will include a
morning of networking and discussion featuring a presentation by Michael
Feiner, former Chief People Officer at Pepsi and current management
professor at Columbia Business School. In his presentation based on his new
book The Feiner Points of Leadership, Mr. Feiner will offer insightful laws
covering everything from managing tough bosses and difficult subordinates,
to dealing with uncooperative colleagues, to overcoming resistance to
corporate change. Based on Feiner's experiences as an aspiring executive,
senior leader, and management consultant, this presentation will show you
that leadership has little to do with grand strategies or personal charisma.
A few examples are:

- The Law of Building a Cathedral: Leaders convince their people that
they're building a cathedral, not cutting stone.
- The Law of Winning Championships: No matter how talented the team, members
have different agendas -- and leaders know what they are.
- The Law of the Silent Sinner: If you can't tell anyone what you're doing,
don't do it!
- The Law of the Onion: High Performance Leaders look beneath the surface --
and never assume anything.

This event is FREE-OF-CHARGE. Advance reservations are required and no
walk-ins will be admitted. Space is extremely limited, so please register
soon. For full event information and to register, please visit our Web site

Tepper Alumni Wine-Tasting Event in Napa Valley

Location: O'Brien Family Vineyards, Oak Knoll District of southern Napa Valley

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business San Francisco Alumni Chapter

Speaker: Bart O'Brien (IA'81)

You are invited to attend a special Alumni Wine Tasting Reception and Cookout on Saturday, July 10, 2004 in the beautiful southern Napa Valley at a vineyard owned by one of our alumni. You will have the opportunity to come, have lunch, taste several different wines, tour the winery, and taste wine directly from the barrels.

Our schedule will be as follows:

12:30 pm Arrival and Chardonnay wine tasting
1:00 Lunch served (buffet style)
2:00 Merlot tasting
2:30 Winery tour, winemaking lecture by winemaker
3:00 Barrel to barrel tasting and comparison
4:00 Vineyard stroll
5:30 Wine tasting ends

The O'Brien Family Vineyard is owned by Bart and Barb O'Brien, who purchased the former Costello winery from John Costello in March 2000. Bart is a 1981 graduate from GSIA (now the Tepper School) and Vice President of Attensity, a leader in the field of advanced business intelligence and data analysis software for commercial enterprises and government agencies. Bart is a seasoned entrepreneur and inspirational leader who has been on the founding team of three companies; one which is growing successfully in a pre-IPO stage, another which was acquired for $250 million, and a third which went public with an initial market capitalization of $1.8 billion.

The winery was built in 1978 and produced approximately 8,400 cases of Chardonnay annually. The winery is unusual in that it is entirely self-contained, with everything required to turn grapes into wine, including a bottling line. Also on the property is a 5 bedroom residence, which is used as a tasting room during our invitation-only parties. The family-owned vineyard produces a wonderful Chardonnay and a rich, voluptuous Merlot.

The estate vineyards are located in the Oak Knoll District of southern Napa Valley. The climate here is ideal for Merlot with fog burning off early, and the cooling influence of San Pablo Bay helping to moderate daytime peak temperatures. The result is that natural acidity and the more delicate nuances of varietal character are consistently preserved.

Registration is limited so we advise you to RSVP as soon as possible online at: http://www.cmu.edu/bschool/sf

The cost is $25.00 per person which includes a catered lunch and an afternoon of wine
drinking (more than just tasting). You are more than welcome to make it a day for your family. Children are free, however, we do ask that you RSVP for them so that we know how many to anticipate. We will have ping pong,
basketball hoop, and movies for their entertainment.

Directions: The vineyard is located between the cities of Napa and Yountville, just off 1/2 mile west of Highway 29. For directions from various locations go to: http://www.obrienfamilyvineyard.com/directions.htm

Thunderbird: Exploiting Change in Expanding Econom

Location: The New York Marriott

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business New York City Alumni Chapter

Toby Hecht, founder and CEO of The Aji Network, will lead the event. Mr. Hecht will speak about how businesspeople who use their common sense actually reduce the likelihood of performing in the top 1%. He will show what it means and how to use uncommon sense and uncommon knowledge to increase income, capital-at-work for retirement, and a business� enterprise value. He will show attendees skills for accumulating power and producing competitive advantage during rapid change and in an economic expansion to set up future opportunities when the economy inevitably contracts. He will also show how those who lack uncommon knowledge, ambition and a long-term view of their career and businesses will set themselves up for failure.

Changing technology and expanding economic conditions favor people and businesses that learn to design new offers, practices, identities and organizations. The mechanics of change and economic expansion defeat people and businesses that do not innovate and lead by making their offers, practices, common sense and current opportunities obsolete. Only the capacity to innovate, adopt and adapt to new situations enables people and businesses to sustain a competitive advantage, continuously increase their autonomy, and build an identity of trust and value.

Date: Thursday, June 24 (Please register by Thursday, June 10th)
Time: 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Continental breakfast served from 9a.m.

Oxford: DO HUMANS HAVE PHEROMONES?

Location: Midtown

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business New York City Alumni Chapter

Dr. Tristram Wyatt, Fellow of Kellogg College, Oxford on "FOLLOWING YOUR NOSE TO LOVE. DO HUMANS HAVE PHEROMONES?" - Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 6.30PM
Midtown Manhattan, New York NY

We may not think smell is important in our lives but it could be the key to falling in love, remembering our families, and a clue to early diagnosis of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Paradoxically we spend billions of dollars on perfumes and deodorants!. Smells are important. For most of us, falling in love may not be a matter of looks alone.

An important part of attraction may be the smell of a partner and, specifically, the allure can be the difference from ours. Difference does attract! And while we may not have pheromones for instant allure, there is good evidence that we do have some pheromones and that they might even offer the birth control pill of the future.

All are welcome - NO previous background in science needed. Come and join us for a fun and fascinating talk.

Dr. Tristram Wyatt is an Oxford zoologist fascinated by the ways animals (and humans) communicate with smell. This is the focus of his book Pheromones and Animal Behaviour, published by Cambridge University Press in 2003, to excellent reviews. He has been featured in many TV and radio programmes about animal behaviour, and his work has appeared in Natural History and New Scientist magazines. He works in the Zoology Department at the University of Oxford. He is also the University's Director of Distance and Online Learning, based in the Department for Continuing Education, and Oxford's liaison with AllLearn (Stanford, Yale and Oxford's not-for-profit online learning project for the general public). Tristram Wyatt is a fellow of Kellogg College, Oxford.

"Over the highways and byways the pilgrim goes aflame with the name of my small black rose." Extracted from the 17th century elegiac poem Roisin Dubh (the small black rose), this line written anonymously, rings no less resonant today when referring to Boston's premier Irish pub and restaurant. Voted one of America's top ten Irish Establishments: The Black Rose, Established in 1976 by the Glynn Hospitality Group is located in the historic Faneuil Hall-Quincy market area of Boston. It's known far and wide for its convivial atmosphere, good food and live Irish entertainment. The menu features honest made-from-scratch food including: traditional Irish fare, award winning clam chowder, fish and chips, native lobster, aged black angus cuts of beef and of course Mother Sweeney's corned beef, founded by Mother Sweeney, himself. The Black Rose is decorated with family crests, pictures of Ireland, and portraits of the likes of Samuel Beckett, Lady Gregory, and James Joyce -- just like a Dublin pub. It has offered live Irish music seven nights a week for over 25 years."

Columbia: Barbara Corcoran

Location: The Williams Club

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business New York City Alumni Chapter

Speaker: Barbara Corcoran

Barbara Corcoran's amazing rise to the top has become the stuff of legend and inspiration. Her credentials include straight D's in high school and college, and twenty jobs by the time she turned twenty-three. It was her next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country when she borrowed $1,000 from her boyfriend and quit her job as a waitress to start a tiny real estate company in New York City. Over the next twenty-five years, she'd parlay that $1,000 loan into a five billion dollar real estate business.

Today, The Corcoran Group is New York's premier residential real estate firm and Barbara Corcoran is the "Queen of New York Real Estate." According to CNN, Barbara is "the most sought after broker" in the city and is considered one of the most powerful brokers in the country. Barbara leads over 800 agents in 11 New York City offices and an additional 200 agents in Palm Beach, The Hamptons, North Fork and Shelter Island. With an impeccable reputation for quality service and results, she and her firm are a magnet for Hollywood superstars and big business executives searching for glamorous homes.

Always thinking outside the box and never settling for less, Barbara has raised the standards for all real estate companies. Her Corcoran Report has become the benchmark for educating consumers on the market, and her comprehensive ongoing training programs for brokers, unique marketing techniques, and her innovative advertising has led to phenomenal success. www.corcoran.com has become one of the most successful and visited real estate websites in America. In late 2001, Barbara sold The Corcoran Group to NRT, the nation's largest residential real estate company, and remains the Chairman and the company's image.

Alumni Reception and Panel on Outsourcing

Location: New Directions, Inc. 66 Long Wharf, Boston

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business Boston Alumni Chapter

Alumni Reception and Speaker Series Event: �Outsourcing the White Collar Worker�

As the pace of white-collar outsourcing picks up and new projections show its use continuing to grow so is the debate about the practice increasing. Is Globalization threatening the future of white-collar jobs, which are increasingly being exported to India and other parts of the globe? What will it mean to white collar workers remaining in the U.S.? How does corporate management reap the rewards of outsourcing without sacrificing long-term viability?

This panel discusses this recent practice among major U.S. companies and how technological advances now allow remote capabilities for almost any type of business process. The risks and rewards from offshoring such as cultural implications, cost efficiencies and infrastructure complications will also be addressed.

The panelists are experienced practitioners in the IT and business process outsourcing fields.

The panel�s moderator is Sunder Kekre. Sunder Kekre is Professor of Operations Management and Manufacturing and Director, Center for E-Business Innovation at The Tepper School of Business. Dr. Kekre's research interests include interdisciplinary issues that examine the interface between operations and areas such as marketing, accounting, information systems and engineering design. He has conducted field studies with Caterpillar, IBM, Ford, GM and Heinz on managerial issues spanning technology, strategy and processes. Kekre�s recent research interests focus on e-commerce implementation at the Center for e-Business Innovation founded by Pricewaterhouse Coopers at Carnegie Mellon.

Confirmed Panelists include:

He later moved to Putnam Investments to head advisor-sold 401(k)plans, insurance and annuities before being tapped to lead Putnam's European business development group in London, where he managed strategic joint ventures across the continent, ran an offshore fund family and built a sales and client-service organization. Returning to Boston, Mr. Miller launched Putnam's private asset management business before joining GoldK in early 2002.

Wharton: Leadership Under Duress

Location: Midtown

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business New York City Alumni Chapter

Leadership contributes to the smooth functioning and steady growth of a
healthy organization. To an organization under extreme stress, leadership
is a critical to survival. This program will examine the role of
�leadership under duress,� where an organization has suffered a tremendous
shock, and its leaders are called upon to get their people through it.

This program will be led by Dr. Michael Useem, Director of the Center for
Leadership and Change Management at the Wharton School. Dr. Useem is a
popular Wharton professor who has lectured and written numerous books on
this subject including Upward Bound: Nine Original Accounts of How
Business Leaders Reached Their Summits (Crown Business/Random House, 2003,
forthcoming); and The Leadership Moment: Nine True Stories of Triumph and
Disaster and Their Lessons for Us All (Random House, 1998). The panel will
include several highly regarded individuals who have faced the ultimate
leadership challenge of righting a struggling organization.

Victoria Harker is Senior Vice President, Financial Planning and Business
Operations at MCI. She took over as CFO from Scott Sullivan at WorldCom.
As acting Chief Financial Officer from December 2002 to May 2003, Victoria
helped drive the company�s financial re-structuring efforts, stabilizing a
finance function damaged by a scandal that threatened to bring down one of
the world�s largest telecom firms. MCI is now poised to emerge from
bankruptcy.

Daniel Lynch is CEO of ImClone. He took over as the founding CEO, Sam
Waksal, fell under indictment, and their most promising drug, Erbitux, had
been rejected by the FDA. Under Daniel�s leadership, ImClone regained its
bearings as a premier experimental drug company, and ushered Erbitux
through final FDA approval.

Eric Pillmore is Senior Vice President of Corporate Governance at Tyco
International. As the new CEO�s first hire, Eric was charged with
revamping a broken corporate governance system, including complete
replacement of the existing board and establishment of governance best
practices across the company. Tyco�s market value and brand name among
investors have clearly recovered.

Nicholas Scoppetta is Commissioner of the New York City Fire Department.
He was hired by Mayor Bloomberg shortly after September 11 to rebuild a
department that had suffered its worst tragedy ever, including the loss of
343 firemen. Commissioner Scoppetta led his department through the
enormity of that loss, and managed through the emotional and political
fallout that ensued to fully restore the world�s busiest fire and
emergency medical services agency.

Each of these panelists will have an opportunity to share their incredible
stories in a forum led by a moderator who will have just returned from his
own a Himalayan journey (literally a climb in the Himalayas, a program
sponsored by Wharton Leadership Ventures). They will also be taking
questions from the audience.

Indiana: How to Perfect Your Personal Brand

Location: Bingham McCutchen LLP

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business New York City Alumni Chapter

"How to Perfect Your Personal Brand"

Presented by the Indiana University Kelley School of Business New
York City Alumni Club.

Business is made up of brands and executives have their own "personal
brand." And, in today's environment of job insecurity, having a
personal brand that creates ironclad chemistry and cuts through the
clutter of a cookie-cutter executive pool is key to success.

But what is a personal brand? How can you leverage it when selling
your ideas to a boss or touting your skills in a job interview?
Interactions with your brand are shaped by interpersonal behavior and
communication skills. In fact, these factors influence successful job
performance more than intellectual prowess. This interactive
presentation will help you become more aware of:

� How to make visual first impressions work to your advantage
when meeting new contacts.
� What techniques will help listeners tune in to and absorb
your most important personal marketing messages.
� How to craft talking points that will showcase your skills
and accomplishments in a distinctive manner.

Join Jane Washburn, president of Brand-Built International, as she
discusses ''How to Perfect Your Personal Brand.'' An IU alumna with
both BA and MBA degrees, Jane spent 25 years in the corporate world
before launching her own consulting and coaching firm. She polished
her brand management and communications skills in executive positions
with blue-chip organizations, including HJ Heinz, PepsiCo, Revlon,
Citibank and Price Waterhouse. She now advises individuals and
institutions on how to make the most of business relationship- building opportunities to achieve their goals

Fordham: A Walking Tour of Belvedere Castle

Location: Central Park - Belvedere Castle (near 79th St.)

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business New York City Alumni Chapter

Join the Fordham GBA Alumni Association, family, friends and colleagues on a guided walking tour around the lands dominated by Belvedere Castle, situated high on Vista Rock, the second highest natural elevation in NYC's Central Park. Belvedere, Italian for panoramic viewpoint, offers visitors just that - you can look down into the Delacorte Theater to the left, straight ahead is the restored, 55-acre Great Lawn, and below, with a boulder-strewn shoreline, is Turtle Pond.

What about the Castle itself? Belvedere was originally designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux and was only a shell, with open window frames, and doorways, really an elaborate scenic overlook. Today, Belvedere Castle has true windows and doors and is home to the Henry Luce Nature Observatory. Inside are simple displays that show how naturalists observe the world to learn how it works. There are telescopes and microscopes and skeletons and feathers - all designed to pique the curiosity of visitors.

If you have lived in the City for any length of time you've probably heard the phrase, "The temperature in Central Park is...." The information is coming from meteorological instruments located at Belvedere. In fact, data has been collected at this site by the U.S. Weather Bureau since 1919. Look for the automated meteorological equipment on the top of the peaked tower roof and in the fenced-in compound to the south of the castle.

Meet at the Castle mid-park at 79th Street at 2:45p.m. Tour begins promptly at 3:00 p.m. The tour is approximately one hour and takes place rain or shine except in extreme weather conditions.

Please contact Megan Clouden at (212) 636-6529 or via e-mail at clouden@fordham.edu to make a reservation.

There is a nominal $5.00 fee per individual to reserve a place on the Tour. All reservation dollars will be donated to the Central Park Conservatory.

Columbia: Venture Capital: Then and Now

Location: McDermott, Will & Emery

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business New York City Alumni Chapter

Venture Capital investments exploded during the dot.com Internet build up, but then imploded beginning during the dot.bomb meltdown in Spring 2000. Many well-known names merged, morphed or ended up in the business morgue, mortally wounded by failed business plans that had attracted boatloads of capital in the good old days.During the last several years there has been a dearth of capital for new or later stage ventures. Now things are different. Come learn from four distinguished experts.

PANELISTS
� James D. Robinson, IV is a General Partner at RRE Ventures, a multi-fund venture capital firm focused on the Software, Communications and Financial Services industries. www.rre.com
� Jeffrey M. Krauss is a General Partner at Psilos Group Managers LLC, a multi-fund venture capital firm specializing in the Healthcare sector. www.psilos.com
� William W. Merten, JD, LLM is a specialist in ESOPs and Exit Strategies for McDermott, Will & Emery, an international legal firm with diversified practice areas that include Private Equity/Emerging Companies, M&A, Finance & Banking, Intellectual Property and General Corporate law. www.mwe.com
� Toby Stuart, PhD is a new Management professor at Columbia Business School. According to Hermes, his &research has examined the formation and governance of strategic alliances; organizational design and new venture formation in established firms; venture capital networks; and the influence of social networks in the generation of new business opportunities.Prof. Stuart stated, My read of the current state of affairs is that there is plenty of money (if anything, too much) sitting in funds right now(at least, if we make the comparison to historical averages). The problem seems not to be a lack of available funds, but rather an unwillingness to part with them because of the concern about exit opportunities in the current environment. This latter point should make for a lively topic of conversation.

" What's hot, what's not and why? " Which facets of health care are fundable and fungible?
" How do the new valuation rules as espoused by the Private Equity Industry Guidelines Groupthough not endorsed by the National Venture Capital Associationaffect valuation issues? " What Exit Strategies are available when an IPO wont work, but when a go-private transaction may?

Wharton: Governor Mario Cuomo

The President's Forum of the Wharton Club of New York presents three time

Mario M. Cuomo is the longest serving Democratic Governor of New York in
modern history. He set two records for highest popular vote ever
achieved in two separate elections. "The New York Times" called his
tenure one of the most celebrated governorships in history.

The conservative "National Review" spoke of him as follows: "Mario Cuomo
has for years been hailed as both the philosopher-king and the humble
'conscience' of the Democratic Party, a formidable, saintly genius of
liberalism.

Since his efflorescence at the 1984 Democratic convention, even many
conservatives have accorded this, their archenemy, a certain respect."

He served the State through two national recessions and twelve years of
federal policies that sought to cut back on federal aid to New York and
other states.

Nevertheless, Governor Cuomo reduced the New York income tax by more than
twenty percent, rebuilt much of the State's infrastructure, reduced the
mortality rate on highways every year for seven years with the nation's
first seat belt law and an aggressive anti-drunk driving program; created
the State's first "Center of Advanced Technology," and introduced programs
like "Child Health Plus" and a reform of welfare that served as models for
later federal programs now in place.

He declined invitations to run for President of the United States and to
serve on the United States' Supreme Court. He has returned to his first
love, the practice of law at the international firm of Willkie Farr &
Gallagher, but has maintained a continuing active presence in the national
political dialogue.

Strategy and Leadership with Dr. Jeffrey Williams

Location: Carnegie Mellon Campus - Posner Hall

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business Pittsburgh Alumni Chapter

Speaker: Dr. Jeffrey Williams, Professor of Business Strategy at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mello

Strategy and Leadership Lecture
April 29, 2004
Location: Carnegie Mellon

Please note that the date of this event has been changed to Thursday, April 29, 2004! A reception will be held at 6:30 PM followed by the lecture at 7:00 PM.

Join the Pittsburgh Alumni Clan for an evening with Dr. Jeffrey Williams, Professor of Business Strategy at Carnegie Mellon's business school on Thursday, April 29, 2004 at Carnegie Mellon's Posner Hall.

Dr. Williams will speak on "Strategy and Leadership." He will look at how management is undergoing a fundamental sea change from the century-old ideas that advantage is sustainable to the new realization that nothing lasts forever. How are managers repositioning their organizations for long term success and rethinking their own personal career paths? What does it mean to think strategically in the emerging Schumpeterian world and how do we define personal fulfillment?

Professor Williams helps organizations renew advantage in a world where nothing lasts. He focuses on balancing time-tested business thinking with the new business models that are emerging in the modern economy. His approach centers on the principle that nothing lasts forever; that all products and services are shaped by the forces of "creative destruction" and the global capital markets. He is developing a set of tools that helps managers recapitalize ever-aging assets on an ongoing basis.

He heads up an ongoing study of the rise and fall of advantage of hundreds of products and services in 45 industries. By combining the insights from best practices in technology and economics, these patterns of success and failure are the focus of his acclaimed book, Renewable Advantage: Crafting Strategy through Economic Time, published by the Free Press.

He advises executive audiences on emerging business best practices and strategies for change. His clients have included AT&T, Southwestern Bell, Westinghouse, Bristol-Myers Squibb, National Semiconductor, Mellon Bank, McKinsey, United Technologies, Goodyear, Bell Labs, and IBM.

He has authored some 40 studies on business strategy, including works for The Journal of Law and Economics, The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Fundamental Issues in Strategy, Industrial and Corporate Change, the Federal Trade Commission, the Sloan Foundation, and the National Science Foundation. He is on the editorial board of the Strategic Management Journal and his work has received the California Management Review Pacific Telesis Award for best new thinking in management.

Dr. Wiliams has been twice awarded the George Leland Bach Prize for excellence in education at Carnegie Mellon.

research regarding the application of option-based approaches to the analysis and valuation of mortgages has been published in leading finance journals. He received an 'All Star Paper' award for 'Modeling the Term Structure of Interest Rates Under Nonseparable Utility and Durability of Goods' that was published in the Journal of Financial Economics in 1986.

Dean Dunn also co-authored numerous publications including work that

Oxford: THEATER OUTING - "High Spirits"

Location: St. Bart's Playhouse

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business New York City Alumni Chapter

OXFORD ALUMNI THEATER OUTING TO SEE THE ST. BART'S PLAYERS IN "High Spirits"

Friday April 23rd at 8PM
(Private cash bar reception in the St. Bart's Cloisters at 7PM)

St. Bart's Playhouse,
Park Ave. @ at 50th St,
New York NY 10022

One of our Oxford Alumni members, Laura Stuart, (St Peter's 1981) is the Producer of an upcoming musical production by the St. Bart's Players called "High Spirits." The production is based on N�el Coward's play "Blithe Spirit", with the music and lyrics by Hugh Martin and Timothy Gray. We have reserved seats for the show on Friday, April 23rd. Join us for a fun evening, including a private cash bar reception in the Cloisters beginning at 7PM, and a special Q&A with the cast following the show.

As Coward wrote in his diary upon being asked to give his approval to the musical: "The music is melodic and delightful, the lyrics really witty, and they have done a complete book outline keeping to my original play and yet making it effective as a musical." Novelist Charles Condomine is host to a ghost when a s�ance goes wrong and an eccentric medium unwittingly conjures up Elvira, the mischievous ghost of Charles' first wife. With ingenious plot twists and unforgettable characters, High Spirits is a sparkling musical adaptation of N�el Coward's deliciously sophisticated comedy.

This event is open to Tepper Alumni and their guests.

The cost of tickets in advance is $22 and you can pay online by credit card. If you would prefer to pay by check please rsvp by emailing ljs4hs@yahoo.com and then send a check payable to OAANY (please put High Spirits in the memo line) to Joseph Lau, c/o Barclays Capital, 200 Park Ave, 5th Floor, New York NY 10166.

Michigan: Financial Services Panel: An Inside Pers

Location: Morgan Stanley, 330 Madison Avenue

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business New York City Alumni Chapter

With the stock market so heavily driven by stock research, what's behind the numbers? Has research changed after the well-publicized analyst conflict-of-interest cases?

Go behind the headlines and discover how stock research is actually done by two expert practitioners and pioneers of independent research. Find out how an analyst researches a report, how conclusions are reached and what a buy or sell rating really means. And learn what analysts need to do in order to better cover a firm and provide true value to their buy-side clients. In addition, get an inside glimpse into the life of an analyst post the Global Analyst Settlement and what it's like to work at a boutique that is determined to dramatically improve the quality of sell-side equity research.

The session will be interactive and questions welcomed.

The two speakers are:

Paul W. Noglows, Managing Director and Director of Research, IRG Research

Paul helped launch IRG Research in Fall 2002 to provide hedge fund and buy-side investment managers with a comprehensive independent alternative to traditional Wall Street equity research.

He began his analyst career in the research department of the San Francisco-based investment bank Hambrecht & Quist (H&Q) in 1996, where he co-founded the firm's Internet Research Group and was responsible for the firm's coverage of Internet/digital media. He was named in First Call/The Wall Street Journal's "Best on the Street" analyst rankings in both entertainment and the Internet. Before joining the financial sector, Paul spent nearly ten years reporting on all aspects of the media business for both trade and consumer publications, including Variety, TV Guide, and Inter@ctive Week. Additionally, Paul has taught as an adjunct professor of finance at New

York University's Leonard N. Stern School of Business and as an adjunct associate professor of journalism at New York University's Graduate School of Arts and Science. He received a master's degree in journalism from New York University and a B.S. in economics from Lehigh University.

How Much Should Quarterly arnings Matter to Investors?

Wednesday, April 7th

An Informed Panel of Experts Debates the Situation and Alternative Approaches

� Joseph Kalinowski, Director of Research, Puglisi & Co.

� Elizabeth Ventura - Senior Managing Director, and Head of Investor Relations, Bear Stearns & Co.

Investors and corporations attach a lot of importance to quarterly earnings numbers, both future guidanceestimates and releases of actual earnings achieved. However, recent years have shown that excessive pressure on management to deliver consistent, predictablequarterly earnings may divert attention from longer term strategic issues and has even in some cases led to questionable accounting practices. We have gathered a panel of experts to discuss the role of quarterly earnings. Specific discussion topics will include:
Do investors currently focus too much on quarterly earnings?
To what extend do quarterly earnings play a positive role in financial markets?
What is the ideal guidance process?
How can companies best communicate their long-term strategies to investors?
How can companies avoid the temptation to use creative accountingto please Wall Street?
