Spriggs Family Lecture Series for Free Market Studies
Hosted by the College of Business and Economics, and generously supported through private support, the Spriggs Family Lecture Series is an annual lecture which builds on current curriculum and offerings in support of the ideas of free market economics. The purpose of this event is to provide a forum for our students and community members that encourages and values discussion, research and hands-on learning.
