When Dean Murray Dalziel came to UB in 2014, he brought with him a speaker series idea that brings together our student, alumni and business communities. Merrick Engages is a series that takes a closer look at contemporary business topics through the experiences of successful business leaders. Each business leader sits down with the dean and they engage in a conversation that aims to better inform us, and provide a new perspective into the business world. Each dialog delves into topics pertaining to careers, business transformation and life lessons-learned.

This year our featured speakers included:

• Joe Weinberg, CEO Cordish Global Gaming; CEO Cordish Global Cities Entertainment where he shared with the audience his thoughts on how reinvigorate communities and creating new business possibilities. View the full event video.
• Chris Wilson, a graduate from the inaugural class of University of Baltimore Ratcliffe Entrepreneurship Fellows Program, Wilson recently published a memoir titled "The Master Plan: My Journey from Life in Prison to a Life of Purpose." View the full event video.
