Partnering with you today. Making a difference for tomorrow.
On March 21, students and faculty assembled
in the Reilly Center Arena for the launch of the
first talk in the Kearns Global Business Lecture
Series.
Dick Kearns, '72, senior adviser for Zurich Insur-
ance Group, and his wife, Maureen, designed the
event to expand students' cultural awareness and
professional capability in the world marketplace.
Kearns moderated a panel discussion with other
prominent alumni of St. Bonaventure's School of
Business: Eugene McQuade, '71, CEO, Citibank;
Samuel Molinaro Jr., '80, head of the Non-core
and Legacy Portfolio, UBS Investment Bank; and
Colette Dow, '88, former COO, PrinceRidge Hold-
ings LP.
Questions were submitted throughout the lec-
ture via Twitter and were answered by the pan-
elists. The panelists shared their unique expertise
on a variety of subjects ranging from how to suc-
ceed in the business and finance industries to
the future of the market.
