The next time you drive past the Chipotle Mexican Grill on South Main Street near the southwest corner of campus you can boast a bit of trivia: The fast-casual chain’s financial chief is a former Redbird and this year’s keynote speaker for the College of Business’ 2015 Business Week.
The Speaker Series of Illinois State University will dedicate spring 2015 to talks that explore the politics behind the Hurricane Katrina disaster, lessons to take from World War I, the issues of being transgender, growing up in political exile and building a sustainable business culture.
The 2015 College of Business Business Week offers engaging, authentic, and professional opportunities that enable students to interact closely with alumni, employers, and industry thought leaders as they develop essential soft skills and understandings required for success.
Chipotle was a privately held company with fewer than 200 restaurants when ISU alumnus Jack Hartung became chief financial officer in 2002.
Each year Illinois State’s Alumni Association proudly recognizes individuals who personify the University’s tradition as an environment for excellence.
