Distinguished Speaker Series

The Department of Business Administration Distinguished Speaker Series brings prominent senior executives to campus to equip Cedarville business students to serve as successful professionals in the 21st century marketplace.

Through guest lectures and discussion, students gain valuable perspectives, identify new trends, and consider the latest ideas shaping domestic and international business. Interaction with executives who face these issues daily enriches the educational experience and complements the in-class curriculum.

The Department of Business Administration Distinguished Speaker Series also benefits Cedarville faculty by helping focus educational objectives and shape the curriculum to address the issues and challenges students will encounter as they enter the business world.

The Department of Business Administration Distinguished Speaker Series began in 2000. The first speaker was Donald T. Nicolaisen, who was then with PricewaterhouseCoopers.
