New Jersey Nets owner to join Rutgers-Camden business panel discussion

DATE: Wednesday, Nov. 12

TIME: 12:15 to 1 p.m.

PLACE: Campus Center, main level, Multi-Purpose Room

Third Street, between Cooper Street and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge on the Rutgers-Camden campus

WHAT: Want to know how to succeed in business? Rutgers-Camden students will receive crucial tips from the owner of the New Jersey Nets, a Wachovia financial manager, and a Camden bistro owner during an executive panel discussion, "How to Succeed in Business.

The business leaders will discuss career paths and job strategies with Rutgers-Camden students during an open forum. Panelists include Lewis Katz, principal owner and managing partner of the New Jersey Nets basketball franchise; Sean Stockton Murray, senior vice president and managing director of wealth management at Wachovia; and Elizabeth Ashley, proprietor of Lizzies Cooper Street Caf, the new hot spot for meals in Camden.

Ashleys participation in the Rutgers-Camden panel is more than a visit to a neighbor: she is a graduate of the Rutgers-Camden business school. For Katz, the panel represents yet another opportunity for the noted business leader and philanthropist to return to his home town.

The forum is part of the annual Guest Business Professors Week at the Rutgers University School of Business at Camden. Throughout the week of Nov. 10, more than 35 executives will trade their boardrooms for Rutgers-Camden classrooms, taking over undergraduate and MBA classes.
