Every semester, UVU’s Woodbury School of Business hosts the Reed and Christine Halladay Lecture Series, where business owners and entrepreneurs eagerly impart their knowledge to the current generations of students. Held in the Keller Building’s Vallejo Auditorium every Tuesday and Thursday, these presentations teach Wolverines a wide variety of skills and tools that can be used to great effect within the business world. Last semester, UVU Review covered many of these lectures, and every lecturer offered their unique perspectives on success and how they obtained it. A variety of successful people spoke last year, ranging from self-made entrepreneurs who founded consulting groups or invented successfully marketed products, such as LoveSac’s to successful business owners who own notable businesses within the state of Utah.
While these lectures may appear at first glance to be more focused on business majors, the life lessons and wisdom taught by the guests are something from which all UVU students stand to gain. Many guests focus on how to be successful in life and use their own stories as a medium for telling students how. While their stories are most directly about their businesses, their mentalities and methods can be applied to many different fields and can help a diverse array of students as they reach for their goals.
The lecture series is a free resource offered to students as a way of supplementing their education with additional knowledge and insight offered by outside opinions. Like last semester, the lectures are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 AM to 12:20 PM; students are free to come and go as they wish.
