Groups to stage ‘alumni business challenge’

Faculty from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and University of Iowa business schools will present a seminar Nov. 1-3 addressing current issues and future trends in business and management.

The Alumni Business Challenge will be held at the Fluno Center for Executive Education, 601 University Ave.

Set to begin at 1:15 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1, the program will feature presentations from leading faculty on a variety of business topics, and will include networking opportunities for participants. The seminar will conclude with a “Deans’ Debate” 9-10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 3.

This is the first of what will become an annual event held during the weekend of the Wisconsin vs. Iowa football game on the home team’s campus, says the Wisconsin Alumni Association.

The Alumni Business Challenge is sponsored by WAA Wisconsin Alumni Lifelong Learning, UW–Madison School of Business Executive Education, and University of Iowa’s Henry B. Tippie College.
