Visiting Executive Program
In 1979, the Manville Foundation for Private Enterprise granted the University of Richmond $125,000 to endow a fund to bring distinguished business leaders to the Robins School of Business. Participating executives take part in class lectures and discussions, present keynote speeches to students, faculty, and corporate leaders, and converse informally with students, faculty, and staff of the University.
