Jennings Series
The Evan D. Jennings Executive Speaker Series in Real Estate
The Evan D. Jennings Executive Speaker Series, established in 2005, brings business leaders and public policy-makers to FSU each spring to discuss with students the critical trends affecting the real estate industry and its market, as well as community development and investment issues. This forum, promoted jointly with the DeVoe Moore Center, is made possible by a generous gift from Mr. Jennings. The series is free and open to the public. (more on Evan Jennings)
