Chairman Harvey Pitt Will Speak at Northwestern April 4
CHICAGO
--- Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Harvey L. Pitt will
deliver the first Brodsky Family Northwestern JD/MBA Lecture at
5:30 p.m. April 4 in Lincoln Hall at Northwestern University School
of Law, 375 E. Chicago Ave.
Free
and open to the public, the address is sponsored jointly by Northwestern
University School of Law and the J. L. Kellogg School of Management
with the support of the Brodsky Family Northwestern JD/MBA Fund.
The
fund was established by William and Joan Brodsky to honor their
children, Northwestern graduates Michael B. Brodsky, JD/MBA (1994),
Stephen A. Brodsky, JD/MBA (1997), Jonathan P. Brodsky, JD/MBA (2000),
Elizabeth Klein Brodsky, MBA (1996) and Aleta Margolis, MSEd (1991).
The Brodsky fund supports the joint JD/MBA program offered by Northwestern
University School of Law and the J. L. Kellogg School of Management.
On
August 3, 2001, President Bush appointed Harvey L. Pitt as the 26th
chairman of the SEC. Pitt previously served as an attorney on the
staff of the commission (1968 –1978) and as general counsel
(1975-1978).
Before
rejoining the commission, Pitt was in the private practice of law.
He also was a founding trustee and the president of the SEC Historical
Society and participated in a wide variety of bar and continuing
legal education activities to further public consideration of significant
securities law issues.
He
received a juris doctorate from St. John's University School of
Law in 1968 and a bachelor’s degree from the City University
of New York (Brooklyn College) in 1965.
The
JD/MBA program offered by Northwestern University is the only three-year
joint degree program of any major university. Through the JD/MBA
program, students receive a thorough grounding in management and
law. Every graduate has at least several years of full-time work
experience as well as a well-defined career plan that incorporates
both degrees, enabling them to pursue a wide range of career opportunities
in both the legal and business fields.
