Published on Mar 27, 2024 by Erin Hedlun

SPRINGFIELD, Missouri – Evangel University’s Business Department will host a panel discussion on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Workplace on Monday, April 1 from 10 – 11 a.m. in Trask Academic Building Room 102. The event is free and the public is invited to attend along with EU students, faculty, and staff.

This is the inaugural session in the Schmidgall Panel Series sponsored by Dr. Ray and Barbara Schmidgall and facilitated by the Business Department’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) student chapter. The purpose of the Schmidgall Panel Series is to provide a venue for practical discussion of business-related topics and trends. While many lecture series are more academic in nature, the Schmidgall Panel Series will focus on practical solutions and pointed discussions about topics relevant to students and their future careers.

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping not only how we live and interact with technology but also how we work and consume goods and services. The panel will be made up of local business leaders with practical experience using AI in their fields.

Panelists include:

  • Bruce Cassell: Bayer Corporation (Accounting and Finance)
  • Travis Bradshaw: Association for Accounting Marketing (Accounting and Marketing)
  • Melinda Love: Graddy Real Estate (Investments)
  • Ron Bogart: Gold Mechanical (Management)
