Celebration of School Pride: Ninth Annual Questrom Day

The ninth annual Questrom School of Business “Questrom Day” was held March 27. Among the daylong events: live performances, game day snacks and treats, and a conversation with Kenneth Freeman, BU interim president and former Questrom dean, discussing leadership and his experience as a first-gen college grad, and of course, an appearance by BU’s ever-popular mascot, Rhett. And what would be a celebration without music? The BU Pep Band, among them Molly Henault (Questrom’26) (from left), Roni Rodriguez (Questrom’27), and Avani Mehra (Questrom’26), brought some noise to the celebration of school pride.
