The Parker Center is one of the most valuable assets of the Johnson School in terms of absolute dollars (the software licenses and data feeds are worth almost $2 million in annual fees) and in terms of what makes us different from other top business schools. Using industry-standard analytical tools to manage a real hedge fund as an MBA student is a very unique opportunity. Here is a shot of the Parker Center classroom (available to all Johnson students) and the adjacent Parker Center studio (used exclusively by the student portfolio managers of the Cayuga Fund). When I'm not in class, chances are you can find me in the studio.

I thought I'd throw in a couple more shots of places a prospective student might find interesting. This first is the Atrium - literally the center of Sage Hall. With a vaulted glass ceiling and plenty of room to eat or hang out, the Atrium is the most social location in the building. The second photo is the student lounge in the basement. It comes equipped with leather couches and two flat-panel TVs so you can catch CNBC and SportsCenter in between classes. There's also a microwave and fridge near the vending machines. The third photo is one of the main classrooms. Not much to elaborate on there.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the show. If you're interested in seeing something that's not on the school website, shoot me an email and I'll see what I can do to post a photo.
