Global Business Forum
The Global Business Forum brings together MBAs,
graduate students from other UW departments, faculty,
and staff interested in global business. This weekly
speaker series invites regional executives from
private sector companies and non-profit organizations
to share their perspective on working in a global
business environment.
The forum meets Mondays from
12:30 p.m. to 1:20 p.m. in Balmer Hall. Participants
are encouraged to bring a brown-bag lunch and join
us for an informative and interesting discussion.
