SLU TO HOST BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY WEEK
HAMMOND -- More than 100 guest speakers will bring the real world of business and
industry into Southeastern Louisiana University's College of Business and Technology
classrooms, Oct. 23-27, during the college's annual Business and Technology Week.
The speakers represent a variety of business and industry career fields, including
corporate presidents, chief financial officers, hospital administrators, business consultants,
Certified Public Accountants, engineers, training directors, human resource managers, and
project coordinators, said Lynn Stirling, coordinator of Business and Technology Week.
"The purpose of the program is to bring our college closer to the community we serve and
to allow our students to benefit from real world business and industry leaders from throughout
the region," Stirling said. "This year's program will be the largest in the program's 13 years."
Stirling said students enrolled in business classes will be given first priority to attend
presentations, which are scheduled during regular class periods. "However, other interested
students, faculty, administrators and guests are welcome to attend on a space available basis," she
said.
Business and Technology Week programs will be available in the College of Business
and Technology office, Room 84 in the Garrett College of Business Building, beginning Oct. 15.
