A Lasting Bond

“We keep saying that we should end up in the same retirement home in Monterey and run the place,” says Natalie Mor­ton MBA ’86, laughing as she talks about her friends from the Institute. The group made a commitment when they graduated to try to get together every year, and they have kept their friendships strong over the three decades since graduation despite geographical distances, busy careers, and family responsibilities. “It’s almost like a sisterhood,” explains Natalie, describing very comfortable and deep friendships that transcend any petty differences that might come up in daily life.
