SEC Commissioner Joins AUWCL for Year’s First Business Law Event
Sept. 25, 2017
American University Washington College of Law welcomed Securities and Exchange Commissioner Michael S. Piwowar to the law school early this semester to speak to an enthusiastic group of students. Dean Camille Nelson gave opening remarks at the Sept. 12 event, which kicked-off the Business Law Program’s line-up of events for the 2017–2018 academic year.
“Having an SEC Commissioner come to the law school is an extraordinary opportunity for students and faculty,” said Professor David Snyder, director of the Business Law Program. “It’s rare to have the chance not only to hear straight from a Commissioner about the latest happenings at the SEC, but also to be able to ask questions and even chat one-on-one over lunch. This is part of what we try to do in the Business Law Program—we try to create extraordinary opportunities for dialogue with those at the very top of the business law field.”
