It's Business Days, of course. This year there will be three events, one that is open to the entire Drake community and two that are reserved for the College of Business and Public Administration faculty, students and special guests. The forum will feature Carl Williams, the chief information officer of the Principal Financial Group. It will take place April 4 from 4-5 p.m. in Aliber 101. The ice cream social is an annual event, but this is the first year it is being co-sponsored by Alpha Kappa Psi, a professional business fraternity.
Business attire is required.
The evening will feature a fascinating keynote address by William H. Longfield, the chairman and chief executive officer of C.R. Bard Inc. in Murray Hill, N.J. Longfield is an alumnus of Drake's College of Business and Public Administration who went on to receive a graduate degree in management from Northwestern University. I have attended the Business Days events the past two years and have found them to be very enjoyable and informative.
