Hundreds of students, staff, and faculty celebrated Olin’s official 100th birthday on March 30 – the date Washington University charted the business school in 1917. The party was spread across all three levels of the Atrium, Frick Commons, and Frick Forum.

Live jazz, fun photo booth, free t-shirts, amazing food and refreshments were the right ingredients for this once in a lifetime birthday bash. The delicious cake and balloon drop were the perfect ending to the party. Relive the moment in our video.
