Business Week 2008 Keynote - Ed Rust, State Farm CEO
Since the mid-1970's the College of Business at Illinois State University has sponsored Business Week to foster students' appreciation for the array of skills required in a dynamic global business environment. Through a weeklong series of events, corporate and industry leaders interact with business students, share specialized expertise and explore important cutting-edge developments.
In 2008, the keynote address was given by Ed Rust, CEO of State Farm. Mr. Rust spoke on risk: possibles, probables and unknowns. WGLT.....News, Blues and all that Jazz captured the presentation and made an (mp3) version available on their web site. WGLT is an NPR affiliate located on the Illinois State campus.
