The Wisconsin School of Business and American Family Insurance partnered to present Forward Thinking: A Speaker Series, hosting world-renowned economist Nouriel Roubini as the inaugural speaker on June 8 on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
Roubini's forecast was bleak, saying the recession will last through 2009 and unemployment will reach 11%. Watch Roubini's talk or read about it in the Wisconsin State Journal.
Nouriel Roubini is a professor of economics at New York University's Stern School of Business and is cofounder and chairman of RGE Monitor, an innovative economic and geo-strategic information service. In April 2009, he was named to TIME magazine's list of the world's 100 most influential people.
Roubini studies international macroeconomics, political economy and the mechanisms of economic growth. He is probably best known for his warnings about an impending financial crisis. Profiled as "Dr. Doom" in The New York Times Magazine, he is much sought after for his economic insights by print and broadcast media around the world.
Roubini served as a senior adviser to the White House Council of Economic Advisers and the U.S. Treasury Department and has held several other prestigious positions in major economic institutions. He has published numerous policy papers and books on key international macroeconomic issues and contributes to a series for Project Syndicate, "Finance in the 21st Century."
Jerry Liu, a PhD grad of the Wisconsin School of Business and finance professor at Cal State University, had his research on Google's stock options featured in Forbes Magazine.

The Wisconsin School of Business will host its annual Homecoming Bash - the best tailgate party on campus - on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2009. As an alumnus of the Wisconsin School of Business, we would like to offer you a chance to purchase tickets for the football game vs. Iowa and the school's Homecoming Bash. The Bash will begin at 8a.m. if kickoff is at its customary 11a.m. slot (If game time is changed to accommodate television coverage, the Bash will begin three hours before the game.)
We have a limited number of tickets available for purchase for the Homecoming game. Once again, we are offering a priority purchase opportunity for alumni who make a gift to the Wisconsin School of Business in 2009 as a thank you to those who are helping to build a culture of giving.
Private support has become increasingly important to maintaining a world-class business school. Gifts to the Wisconsin School of Business Annual Fund provide the resources needed to invest in new initiatives, recruit and retain outstanding faculty members and provide leadership opportunities for students.
Our block of seats for the game are located in the south end zone. You may purchase tickets for the game and Homecoming Bash combined or the Bash alone. (Sorry, no football tickets can be sold separately.) Please limit your game ticket requests to four; tickets to the Bash are unlimited.
Orders will be filled on a first come first served basis with priority given to alumni who have made a gift to the school by July 31, 2009. Any remaining tickets will be sold to alumni using a lottery system on Aug. 1. To make a gift, reserve football tickets or for more information, visit www.bus.wisc.edu/alumni/homecoming.
Hope you can join us!
