The inaugural networking luncheon of the SUU Professional Society was held Friday, March 9, at the Bank of America offices in downtown Salt Lake City. More than 25 alumni from across the Wasatch Front attended.Travis Lovell ('03, Political Science), a vice president and credits product officer with Bank of America, hosted The Society and presented on the mortgage industry. He discussed how the recent financial meltdown came about and identified the various stakeholders including private banks, the federal government and individual homeowners. He also analyzed the current mortgage system, which is now under increased federal oversight and how this might affect the future of home ownership.
The SUU Professional Society, the brainchild of Kristian Olsen ('00, Business Management), is a new and exciting forum for professionals to gather quarterly and connect with alumni and friends of the Univeristy on a wide range of professional and social interests. Its goal is to provide opportunities for networking, continual learning, community service and the strengthening of SUU. The Society reinforces the University's motto: Learning Lives Forever.
