East Stroudsburg University’s College of Business and Management kicked off its annual Crayola Executive Lecture Series for the fall semester on September 17 with a presentation from Pete Ruggiero, CEO of Crayola. Ruggiero shared insights from his career, leadership experiences, and the lessons he has learned throughout his career in the industry.

The series continues throughout the fall semester with presentations from Timothy E. Baxter, former CEO, Samsung North America on September 24; Naveen Mohiuddin ’05, owner/franchisee, M&N Foods on October 1; Tamil Robinson, owner/entrepreneur, House of Amiat, October 22; and John Diggins, managing partner, Platinum Equity on October 29.  Each lecture will be held in Beers Lecture Hall at 2 p.m.

The Crayola Lecture Series is designed to provide students with meaningful opportunities to connect with accomplished business and industry leaders in an engaging and welcoming environment.

“One of the most valuable things we can do for our students is connect them directly with exceptional leaders who can share their experiences, challenges, and lessons learned from the real world,” said Dr. Sylvester Williams, dean of ESU’s College of Business and Management. “I am especially pleased that we were able to partner with Crayola once again to bring this series to our students.”
