The College’s signature annual event, this forum is designed to inspire and educate an audience of all ages, professions and industries regarding business trends, challenges and best practices.

The Board of Regents hosted four speakers to address their audience, including Byron Pitts, Senior National Correspondent and Contributing Correspondent for 60 Minutes; Kathleen Fitzgerald, Executive Director of Communications and Chief Communications Officer for KPMG LLP; and P. Brett Hammond, Managing Director and Chief Investment Strategist for TIAA-CREF. Ali Velshi, CNN’s Chief Business Correspondent and host of Your $$$$$, delivered the keynote address.

With the theme Restoring Confidence: From Crisis to Recovery, this year’s forum provided the opportunity for these financial and economic experts to share their personal experiences resulting from coping with the recession, and their practical solutions to lead the U.S. economy on the road to recovery.
