Executive Speaker Series

The Rady School of Management Executive Speaker Series provides opportunities for business leaders to share career experiences with our students and stakeholders. Senior executives from local, regional, national and global companies are invited to make a presentation, which is followed by a question and answer session to encourage discussion among those present. This dialogue often provides rich insight into the challenges encountered and decisions required to a successful organization.
