Business Seminar Series
The School of Business hosts a seminar series each semester where Manhattan College students and faculty, as well as leading scholars and professionals, present on current business topics.
Prof. John F. Tomer Business Seminar Series
For the 2023-24 year, we honor Prof. John F. Tomer, Emeritus Professor of Economics. A pioneer in the area of behavioral economics, Tomer served Manhattan College for 29 years. He published 5 books and over 60 peer reviewed articles and was a founding member of the Society for the Advancement of Behavioral Economics (SABE).
The seminars are held weekly throughout the semester. Presenters can range from economists from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, to scholars from Yale and Columbia, or even our very own Manhattan College community.
