Executive Speakers

This spring, Katz/CBA awarded 110 Masters degrees and 339 BSBA degrees. And we were honored to have two outstanding commencement speakers.

We welcomed back Samme Thompson (MBA ’70), president of Telit Associates, Incorporated, a Chicago-based telecommunications consulting firm. He spoke to our MBA (two-year and part-time) and MS graduates.

We also welcomed Sunil Wadhwani, cochair and CEO of iGate Corporation and a member of the Katz/CBA Board of Visitors, who spoke April 28 to our CBA graduates. Thompson and Wadhwani gave wonderful advice to our graduates and urged them to prepare for change, uncertainty, and opportunity.
