CC Alumni, David Hoven ’06 and Max Stein ’11 both participated in the 2012 Great Wall run on May 19, 2012, David in the marathon and Max in the half marathon. They did very well. Dave came in 13th overall out of 593 participants. Max came in 4th out of 921 participants. David was in China because he started a company called Wild Blue Export Development in September of 2011, at which time they were awarded a contract to help a U.S-based manufacturer of industrial equipment develop an export market and distribution network in China. He went there to work on that contract for a five-month period from late January to early June. It was during the first month of his stay here that he heard about the NGO Prevention Through Education and thus decided to take part in the marathon. David took a leave of absence from his MBA classes at DU, resumed with the last of his coursework in June, and will graduate in November 2012. David is receiving the 2012 Outstanding Student of the Year, awarded by the Advisory Board of the Daniels School of Business for the International MBA program at DU.
