The Williamson Symposium
Established at Youngstown
State University in 1981 through an endowment fund provided by the Warren
P. Williamson, Jr. family. Our “Executive on Campus” Program
is celebrating its 25th Anniversary.
The Williamson Symposium is an “executive on campus” program
designed to bring nationally recognized business leaders and business
scholars to campus. Presentations focus on business trends and specific
strategic issues related to the field of business. These guest speakers
make a valuable contribution to our students’ educations by sharing
their time and expertise with the YSU community. This “executive
on campus” program provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and
opportunities to profile our successful alumni.
During their visit to campus, speakers meet with undergraduate and graduate
classes, conduct faculty workshops, and give a presentation at a breakfast
or luncheon that is open to the public and the regional business community.
Speakers are recognized as Williamson Fellows during their visit to the
YSU campus.
