Sessions will be conducted by prominent alumni, including the board chairman of Virginia-based commercial finance company MCG Capital Corp., the CEO of United Bancorp, the chairman of AON Risk Solutions and the CFO of Logic Solutions.
The conference runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“The conference is part of our larger effort to focus on the professional development for our students,” Michael Tidwell, dean of the College of Business, said in a release. “We recognize that success for today’s graduates hinges on their level of technical proficiency and professional polish in the first few months of a new career. Connecting our alumni with our students helps students build these skill sets while broadening their professional network.”

This should be an excellent day of real-world perspective for EMU students. The public is also invited as well.
