Future of Business Trends Lecture Series

ROCKLIN, Calif., - William Jessup University will begin a three-part lecture series focusing on the future of business trends. Held on February 18 at 7 p.m. in the University’s Lecture Hall, the first discussion in this free series open to the public will examine the “Future of the Financial Markets” and features Scott Hanson, of Hanson McLain Financial. 

Hanson will discuss the systemic issues in our financial system that contributed to the economic crisis. He will also address the current market and government response to that crisis and summarize some of the potential implications that might have for the future. 

“One of the goals of this speaker series is to engage with the local and regional business community,” said Rhonda Capron, Jessup’s Assistant Professor of Business Administration. 

"This will not only benefit our students but will provide a forum to benefit business professionals in our region.  In a time of great economic uncertainty, more information and tools to help businesses and individuals succeed can only help improve our community at large."
