The Favatas Lecture Series

The Favatas Lecture Series was established by Louise Woerner and Don Kollmorgen, who named the annual event after their godson and Saunders graduate, Dionisios Favatas ’01 (international business), also a contributor to the endowment.

This lecture series was established to promote a relationship between recent RIT-employed graduates who would discuss the real world of business with RIT students.
