IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- A group of University of Iowa MBA students are set to meet with Warren Buffett, the so-called Oracle of Omaha, during a visit to Nebraska.
The group of 27 full-time MBA students are headed to Omaha on Friday and will meet with Buffett, the chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway. They will join students from five other universities.
Second-year MBA student Anne Thimsen says she's gearing up for a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to pick Buffett's brain.
The visit will include a tour of the Nebraska Furniture Mart -- one of the many businesses owned by Berkshire Hathaway -- and a 90-minute question-and-answer session with Buffett. After that, he'll treat the students to lunch at Piccolo Pete's steak house.
