The Nazarian College created the Younes Nazarian Distinguished Speaker Series to bring high-level speakers to campus to inspire our students and alumni.
On March 12, the college will welcome Marty Chavez, vice chair and partner of the global investment firm Sixth Street. Dr. Chavez is a financial trailblazer who turned the Wall Street trading business into a software business and revolutionized the way that capital moves and works.
