BJ Coleman is an alum of our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga - and a former Green Bay Packer.

Next Tuesday, September 17th, he will be the featured guest for the inaugural Leadership and Ethics Speaker Series here at UTC - hosted by the Gary W. Rollins College of Business.

BJ will meet with business students and student athletes at 4 PM, followed by a dinner and keynote in the Tennessee Room at 6 PM.

I spoke with him - and Dr. Harry Van Buren, the Z. Lupton Patten Chair of Business Ethics at the Rollins College.
