First Thursday returns for third year
Thursday, Sept. 7 | 4 p.m. | Langseth 118
MSUM’s popular First Thursday series returns September 7 at 4 p.m. with guest Paul Jensen to discuss “Doing Business in Saudi Arabia.” Jensen, a partner with Green Ways 2Go, spent ten years as a resident of Saudi Arabia managing a division for multi-national Fortune 500 giant Asea Brown Boveri, a Swedish-Swiss enterprise.
The new venue for First Thursday is Langseth Room 118. Students, faculty, and staff interested in attending can make reservations by contacting Professor Ken Meyer at meyer@mnstate.edu. Admittance along with food and beverage are free of charge. Seating is limited.
First Thursday is a production of the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies featuring top entrepreneurs and social innovators in the region. The Q&A format and quality of guests has earned the program a 4.85 out of 5.00 satisfaction rate drawn from student surveys conducted last season.
Joe Burgum headlines October’s First Thursday session bringing a unique approach to social innovation for the Fargo-Moorhead area. Dave Monson wraps up the fall slate by introducing new approaches to old standards of leadership and organizational behavior.
