Mark Your Calendar for the Opus Distinguished Speaker, David Brooks, May 5, 2009
In December 1997, Opus Corporation funded an endowment at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business to develop an international speakers program. Today, the Opus Distinguished Speakers Program brings nationally recognized leaders of business, government and academia to campus for periods of up to five days. Those leaders invited to serve as Opus Speakers are chosen for their outstanding accomplishments, public service and character.
The purpose of the program is to expose students and faculty to the latest ideas and forces that are shaping American and international business. Leaders and executives, who face these issues daily, provide significant educational enrichment that complements the in-class curriculum. In addition, the program enhances the reputation of the business school by affording the greater community access to the visiting scholar.
David Brooks, author and columnist with the New York Times, has agreed to serve as the 2009 Opus Distinguished Speaker. Mr. Brooks will be on campus Tuesday, May 5 at 6:30 p.m.. While here he will meet with our students and then deliver a public presentation in the evening. This event is free and open to the public.
