Inaugural PCSB Dean’s Symposium with Bank of America CEO a Huge Success

When you’re a freshman majoring in finance and economics, and the CEO of Bank of America speaks at your college, you find a way to say hello and shake his hand.

Jacob Konrad ’18 and Carlos Ayala ’18 seized that opportunity on Thursday, Feb. 5, when Brian Moynihan came to Providence College for the inaugural School of Business Dean’s Symposium. More than 600 people attended the event in ’64 Hall or watched the live stream in McPhail’s and elsewhere in Slavin Center.
