UBSLC

The UBSLC, previously hosted by corporations such as GMAC, Goldman Sachs, Deloitte and The Home Depot, provides a forum for the top undergraduate BBA students to meet with leading business executives to become more effective leaders. Through distinguished speakers, mutual academic collaboration, and a dynamic environment, attendees will develop new leadership roles and build a social network among some of the world’s most promising future business professionals.

Our goal in planning this year's UBSLC is to empower students with the skills necessary to return to their home schools and make a significant positive impact on their own student body. Intimate sessions with executives provide students with the opportunity to learn more about a wide variety of industries and participate in an engaging, interactive dialogue with many of the Southeast’s most well known entrepreneurs.

Our keynote for UBSLC 2012 included:

Usher Raymond IV
Iconic recording artist and performer
Founder Usher's New Look Foundation 

Iconic recording artist and performer Usher Raymond IV has been delivering genre-defining music for over 15 years. The Tennessee native best known for his fluid voice and dynamic dance moves has also acted in a wide variety of film, television and stage productions.

In 2004 he became the first artist to top the charts with four consecutive number one songs and became the recipient of the coveted Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) Diamond Award, three Grammys, four World Music Awards, and four American Music Awards among other accolades.

As impressive as his musical accomplishments are, Usher is much more than a recording artist and performer. He is staunch advocate for youth empowerment and education and has proven to be a powerful force through his New Look Foundation, mentoring youth around the world.

Since founding Usher’s New Look Foundation in 1999, the organization has reached more than 9,000 young people worldwide with over 150,000 hours of curriculum-based training based on four leadership pillars of talent, education, career and service.

With backing from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School, New Look Foundation is embarking on a five-year strategy to certify 50,000 youth as global leaders by 2015.

The venue for the conference is Emory University, located in beautiful Atlanta, Georgia. Most sessions will take place at the Goizueta Business School located on the Emory Campus.

Founded in 1836, Emory University is home to nine major academic divisions, numerous centers for advanced study, and a host of prestigious affiliated institutions. It is located in Atlanta, GA and presently has 11,300 students and 2,500 faculty members who represent all regions of the United States and more than 100 foreign nations. Dr. James W. Wagner, an award-winning teacher and scholar, became Emory's 19th President in 2003.

Emory's School of Business Administration was founded in 1919 but changed its name in 1994 to the Goizueta Business School, named after Roberto C. Goizueta, then Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. Goizueta is home to a two-year and one-year MBA, an Evening MBA, an undergraduate degree program, the Executive MBA (in both a weekend and modular format), and a Ph.D. program. The school also offers a portfolio of innovative non-degree executive education programs. Dr. Thomas Robertson was named Dean in 1998. Goizueta's mission is to create and disseminate business knowledge to global managers and to build economic value for our students, alumni, corporate partners, and their enterprises.

The Emory Campus is located just 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta in the tree-lined suburban neighborhood of Druid Hills.
