Last month was the inaugural edition of the Rasmussen College Lecture Series, a monthly event held across the country on Rasmussen College campuses in which the community is invited to join Rasmussen College students, staff, and faculty to discuss relevant issues and current events affecting communities.
In April, the Lecture Series was sponsored by the Rasmussen College School of Business. Across 15 Rasmussen College campuses, featured speakers led campus discussions on "Navigating a Turbulent Economy."
The following are just a few of the distinguished professionals who were invited to speak at the lecture series:

The May Lecture Series will be hosted by the Rasmussen College School of Justice Studies, and the topic will focus on community oriented policing. Each campus will feature a unique speaker.
