About “A Conversation at the Dyke Center”
This panel discussion is part of the “Conversation at the Dyke Center” speaker series. Modeled after Inside the Actors' Studio, “A Conversation at the Dyke Center” brings together business people who are at the top of their game for a conversation in an intimate setting. Attended by students, Husson community members and guests from the area and beyond, the lessons learned and stories shared will inspire and inform those in attendance.
“A Conversation at the Dyke Center” is sponsored by Husson University’s College of Business. This unique interactive conversation provides students with the opportunity to connect with successful and talented professionals as part of their education. Students must complete background preparations leading up to the event and prepare pre- and post-visit papers. In addition, some students get the chance to “pick the brains” of the guest business leaders in small group discussions.
