Speakers

Speakers Committee

Each class forms a Speakers Committee whose objective is to bring business executives to the classroom. Invitations may be issued from the committee members or the professors if the committee so desires. The committee also serves as host to the visitors.

Typically, there are three to four speakers per semester on subjects such as funding a start-up, mergers and acquisitions, executive recruiting and market research.

Recent speakers include Rear Admiral Julius Caesar, Corporate Vice President and President Mike Petters of Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding, CEO David Bernd of Sentara Healthcare, and Chairman, President and CEO Wick Moorman of Norfolk Southern Corporation.
