Whitman alumnus Aric March ’76, CEO of MHA Communications in Illinois, founded the new lecture series, which he named The Charles March Memorial Lecture Series, in honor of his late father. The goal of the series is to further educate faculty and students on the operations of various financial marketplaces, as well as globalization of investments. Through this program, Whitman alumni and working professionals will be invited to the school to give real-world insight into the field of finance.
