Consider bringing a cake

[Muting]

Hi, all:

Thank you for all your wishes. I am considering bringing a cake and share with you this evening. But I dont know when we can eat the cake.

Now I am thinking that there is a reception between 5 and 6. Maybe we can eat the cake then.

Any suggestion?

 

[Dmytro]

it'd better be a huge cake or a tiny reception!
i'm kidding of course, it's very kind of you to offer it.

i, selfishly, think it would be fine for us to eat it right before or during the class. however, since it's not just this year's students that are wishing you all the best, i think it would be fair to share the cake with everybody, and the reception might be a perfect venue for that.

your call.

Which cake ? Where ?

It is too late , the cake is all gone, but was really really good.
I have not tried such a cake for a long time.

Andy, I think they were talking about The Financial Engineering Reception for new students and the awarding of the Ercolano Prize for the best student of the 2006 cohort which according to Professor Stefanica's e-mail took place on Wednesday, September 19, 2007, at 5 PM in Room 8-210.

Too bad I could not come, was eating hotdogs and waiting for my train at SBU on Long Island

Ah, I really wanted to but couldn't come. A belated congratulation to Bob for winning the award. In all fairness, I think Bob is the best student we have ever :D

Andy, by the way, when you (and everybody else) say "2006 cohort" do you refer to students who started the program in 2006?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

I assume so. 2006 cohort means people who start in 2006. Class of 2007 means people who graduate in 2007. Since people arrive together but graduate separately, we prefer 2006 cohort better

 

[Yuriy]

See, thats a problem for me I don't know which one I belong to I've been around since 2002, but was taking AMF classes as a QMM student. My transcript says I started in Spring 2004, and I was away for year and a half

 

[Yuriy]

But I clearly know that I'm a class of 2007 graduate

Consider yourself part of 2006 cohort

Andy, that was a very good resolution
