Lectures and executive interaction are key elements of the learning process at Smeal. The Arlene Shapiro Kaplan Lecture Series, Melvin Jacobs Retail Leadership Lecture Series, G. Albert Shoemaker Program in Business Ethics, Executive Insights, and Smeal Commencement are all opportunities in which executives share business insights and advice with students, faculty, and staff.

Interactions such as these highlight Smeal's strong commitment to vast resources and personal focus.
