CNBC’s Charles Gasparino to Speak in Classes This Month

Charles Gasparino, on-air editor for CNBC and former senior writer at Newsweek and reporter for the Wall Street Journal, will be on campus the week of April 16-20 as the spring semester’s Business Writer in Residence. Gasparino is scheduled to speak in several business and journalism classes and will be the keynote speaker for an Accenture Leadership Center (ALC) event.

In his role as CNBC's On-Air editor, Gasparino provides up-to-the-minute reports throughout the day as the trading unfolds on Wall Street. Before joining CNBC, Gasparino covered Wall Street, pension funds, mutual funds, regulatory issues, and breaking news on some of the biggest financial scandals of recent times at Newsweek and at the Wall Street Journal.

The Business Writer in Residence program is a joint effort by the School of Business, the School of Journalism and Mass Communications and University Communications to bring in nationally known business writers to interact with business and journalism students. The Business Writer in Residence program is funded by a grant from the UW Foundation.
