Mellen Series

The primary function of the Mellen Research Seminar series is to promote and enrich the research environment at the Boler College.

Each semester, researchers from all business disciplines, including accounting, economics, finance, logistics, management, and marketing, present their current research projects to our faculty, students, and invited guests.  The seminars provide a venue that aids both Boler faculty as well as guest speakers from other institutions an opportunity to interact and improve their research projects.  Seminars are a critical resource that help faculty to consistently produce high quality research.

When available, drafts of working papers will be supplied in advance of each seminar.

The executive typically spends several hours on campus meeting, in a variety of settings, with students, faculty, and other guests. The visit culminates with the evening keynote address. This event provides our constituents with real world applications of business principles and an opportunity to interact with distinguished business leaders in group settings as well as one-on-one. We have had the privilege of hosting a veritable “who’s who” list of top business leaders throughout Ohio, including numerous CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. This unique event is but one of many resources that adds value to the student experience at the Boler College of Business.

The Spring 2023 speaker for the 70th Mellen Executive Speaker Series features Jonathan M. Pertchik and will be held on Wednesday, March 22nd at 5pm.
