The Alcorn State University School of Business will launch its spring 2026 Conversations with the Dean series with JPMorgan Chase executives at 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 5, in the Dr. Rudolph E. Waters Sr. Classroom Building.
The kickoff event features Dr. Theresa Horne, vice president and community manager, and Christopher Barney, vice president and branch manager, for JPMorgan Chase & Co. The session will take place in the Brian K. Johnson Auditorium, followed immediately by a networking social in the School of Business Auditorium.
“This spring’s lineup represents something truly special for our Alcorn family,” said Alcorn State University School of Business Dean Antwon D. Woods, Ph.D. “We’ve intentionally curated a diverse range of voices—from the established excellence of JPMorgan Chase, to the creative innovation of Disney, to the entrepreneurial courage of The IX.”
Held on the first Thursday of each month, the series connects academic theory with business practice. The upcoming networking social allows students to discuss career opportunities directly with firm representatives.
“Each speaker brings a unique perspective on what it means to achieve success in today’s dynamic business environment,” said Woods. “Whether you’re a student mapping your career trajectory, an alumnus looking to pivot or advance, or a community member seeking inspiration, these conversations will challenge you to think bigger about your potential and your purpose.”
The event is open to the campus community. For information on upcoming speakers and registration, contact Anita Norman at 601-877-6457 or [email protected].
