Despite being the first of its kind event at the Kelley MBA program and having to compete with a Colts game, a whopping turnout of over 120 MBA students and their partners packed the house until it overflowed onto the street. O@K members and its allies also participated in the drag show, making it the most exciting event of the night. Our student performers collected over $150 in tips, which were donated to the Haiti Relief Fund through the Kelley MBAA committee. Additionally, over 200 cans of food were also collected to Cram the Container for Haiti. One of our students also won the Drag Race Award – a huge velvet high-heeled shoe – which we hope to keep as our first drag trophy!
O@K received effusive praise and feedback for the event. We plan to make this an annual event and and bring more visibility and awareness to the LGBT MBA student body.
