Spartanburg Community College, in partnership with First Citizens Bank, is launching
a Professional Speaker Series this month at the college s downtown campus. Designed
to introduce students and community residents to local business professionals active
in the Spartanburg community, the first event features local entrepreneur John Bauknight
and will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 24, from noon to 1 p.m. in the Evans Academic
Center auditorium.
Bauknight is president and cofounder of Longleaf Holdings USA, a Spartanburg-based
investment firm that oversees several business ventures including the 2007 acquisition
of RJ Rockers Brewing Co., according to a news release.
Since the college's School of Business relocated to the SCC downtown campus in January
2017, we are continuously searching for opportunities to strengthen business relationships
and broaden professional experiences for our students," said Witney Fisher, executive
director of the Spartanburg Community College downtown campus, in the release. "The
First Citizens Speaker Series provides our students and community residents who attend
a first-hand opportunity to learn more about careers, professional pathways and an
opportunity to meet 'movers and shakers' in our community."
