The College of Business at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is thrilled to announced Dr. Ruby K. Payne as keynote speaker of the 2018 G. Russell Kirkland Distinguished Visiting Executive Lecture and recipient of the related award. Payne, who is the CEO and founder of aha! Process, Inc., will headline the Kirkland lecture, which will take place on Tuesday, April 24, at 6:30 p.m. in the University Center, Anchor Ballroom. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Congratulations to Chase Smith, Kyle Fernandez, and Aaron Coffey, grand prize winners of the 2018 Buc Days Ideas Challenge, a Shark Tank-like business concept competition hosted by the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi College of Business. The challenge, headed into its fourth year in 2019, gives all Island University students the opportunity to team up and develop an innovative product or service. Teams must produce a video profiling their creation, after which they pitch the idea before judges and a live audience at a huge event showdown.

Great business people are committed to their mission.

Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and the Buccaneer Commission are hosting a burgeoning business concept competition which encourages Islander students to realize their own innovative ideas.
