Dessert & Dialogue Series

 

Presented by the B-W MBA Association and the B-W Center for Professional Development, the Dessert & Dialogue series was established to provide expert speakers on current topics concerning MBA students, alumni, and faculty. These after-work events include presentations by B-W MBA faculty members or community leaders with expertise in timely business topics as well as opportunity for networking over food and drink. 

While most attendees hail from B-W MBA programs, all are welcome to attend a Dessert & Dialogue at no charge.  (Advance registration is requested.)  Join us!
