Saturday, May 24, 2008

The Honorable John G. Roberts, Jr., Chief Justice of the United States, delivered another successful Vicker's Memorial Lecture for the KU School of Business. Roberts spoke to a sold-out crowd of nearly 2,000 guests at the Lied Center on April 30. Video from his lecture was also streamed live to an overflow room in Budig Hall for additional guests.

Roberts incorporated the themes of both law and business during his speech, using the personalities involved with the Louisiana Purchase to exemplify the traits necessary for any successful business deal.

Roberts concluded his lecture by taking several questions from students from the Schools of Business and Law. Graduating seniors Annie Van Allen and Peter Curzon represented the School of Business onstage and students Bella Truong and Adam Davis asked questions from the School of Law.
