Take Giorgi Kvirikashvili, MS ’98 BUS, prime minister of Georgia. On Feb. 29, at a dinner hosted by Georgia Ambassador Ian Kelly for the co-chairs of the Geneva International Discussions, Kelly surprised Kvirikashvili with a gift from his home state: a baseball cap and mug from the University of Illinois. Kvirikashvili attended business school at Illinois through the Edmund S. Muskie Graduate Fellowship program, which is funded by the U.S. Dept. of State.
