To mark the 50th anniversary of HWG LU, the International Affairs Department, together with the Transatlantic Institute, is offering an international lecture series with selected partner universities in the anniversary year. This is supported by DAAD and BMBF. On Thursday, June 17, 2021, the third guest lecture of this series took place:
In the course of the event, Ms. Melissa Brode as Associate Dean and Director of Graduate Programs of the College for Business first introduced the University of West Florida (UWF) in Pensacola and gave an insight into the cooperation and especially the orientation of the successful MBA program with the Transatlantic Institute.
The Transatlantic Institute of the HWG LU under Prof. Gerhard Raab as Managing Director and Managing Director Kathrin Paul has a long-standing partnership and deep friendships with the UWF, which have been kept alive with many mutual visits. UWF was founded in 1963 and currently has five academic colleges. It offers a variety of bachelor's and master's degree programs as well as doctoral programs.
The introduction of the university was followed by an exciting finance lecture by Prof. Dr. Kwan-Chen Ma (Professor of Finance) on "How to Pick the Next Facebook?" The lecture took a close look at the interplay between business strategy and stock performance, and also provided a lot of information on various stock categories and returns.
We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Kwan-Chen Ma and Ms. Melissa Brode for their commitment and for the exciting lecture.
Already now we would like to take the opportunity to draw your attention to the next lecture in the winter semester 2021. On October 7, 2021, Prof. Dr. Christoph Goro Kimura (Professor of Sociology) from the renowned Sophia University in Tokyo will give a lecture on "Flight and Displacement after World War II in Asia and Europe".
