CBT Distinguished Speaker Series

As part of the Distinguished Speaker Series, the College of Business and Technology invites prominent leaders to our campus to discuss current topics and issues related to their expertise. 

The guest speaker has an opportunity to interact with students, faculty, and other interested participants during a public address, round table discussion, and luncheon. 

We are pleased to partner with the Richmond Chamber of Commerce in providing this enrichment opportunity.
