The Drexel International Business Association (DIBA) will be hosting its first panelist event on Thursday, May 13th. The focus will be on international markets with a closer look at the effects that the global financial crisis of 2008 and recovery have had on attitudes towards globalization.

The panelists will include:
– Marisa Veni, University Travel Consultant at The Accent Group, a pioneer company in staffing solutions
– Ben Joullen, Consultant at Accenture, a global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company
– Tim Buckley, Vice President, Business Financial Officer for CIGNA International, a leading global health service company
– Eydis Olsen, International Business Professor, will moderate the panel

The panel will discuss their experiences, recent travels, and answer questions pertaining to the topic. The four panelists will represent many different perspectives of the crisis depending on their field and industry.

This event is a great networking opportunity and students will have the opportunity to explore careers in International Business.

Business Casual Attire is preferred.

Refreshments will be provided after the Panel discussion.

Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business will host A View From the Top with Jack Brennan, former CEO of The Vanguard Group Inc. Wednesday, May 12, 2010 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Pearlstein Business Learning Center room 403 (32nd and Market Streets).

Jack Brennan, former CEO of the Vanguard Group Inc., will be presenting “Lessons Learned From the Financial Crisis.” Brennan joined Vanguard in 1982. For many years he served as the company’s president alongside John C. Bogle who was Vanguard’s founder and CEO. When Bogle stepped down from his chairmanship in 1996, Brennan was his hand-picked successor. Since then Brennan has remained committed to Vanguard’s long time strategy of providing low cost no-load mutual funds to its investors.

He was also a previous chairman of the Investment Company Institute, a trade organization representing mutual fund companies.

A networking reception will follow. Food and beverages will be provided.
