Mr. Michael McManus, Jr. endowed the series as a tribute to his father. Mr. McManus, Sr. was a businessman, entrepreneur, and an inspiration to many. The lecture series is dedicated to presenting speakers from all fields who epitomize the spirit of the entrepreneur and are outstanding examples of leadership and perseverance. Students, faculty and staff of the University are all encouraged to attend our lectures. Anyone interested in the subject, lecture or the speaker is welcome.
Lectures are free, and no special invitation or tickets are necessary.
The public is always given notice of lectures, however, information concerning future lectures may be obtained through the School of Business. The McManus Distinguished Lecture Series is presented twice a year. A lecture is usually given early in the fall and again late spring.
