Since 1984, the Dean's Office of Duke's Fuqua School of Business has hosted the Distinguished Speaker Series, bringing a variety of corporate leaders to Duke's campus. The speakers provide significant educational enrichment that is a natural complement to the school's curriculum.

The objective of the series is two-fold. It brings high-profile corporate leaders to one of the world's leading business schools to share their insights on current business issues and corporate strategies. The program also builds and strengthens the relationship between Fuqua and the world's leading corporations.

The Distinguished Speaker Series is supported by Fuqua Dean Blair Sheppard, and the series is open to the Duke University community.

Distinguished Speaker Series Schedule:

The following events will be held in Geneen Auditorium from 4 - 5 p.m.

January 26, 2010 Bob McDonald, Chief Executive Officer of Procter & Gamble
April 6, 2010 Paul Levy, Chief Executive Officer of Beth Israel Hospital
April 13, 2010 Bruce Johnson (Evening Executive MBA, '77), Interim CEO of Sears Holdings
