The annual Eileen Peters Farley ‘68 Endowed Speaker Series, hosted by the M&T Bank Center for Women & Business, took place this week. The event featured Eileen's daughter, Jessica Geis, who presented the 2023 Impact Award to Susan L. Johnson, Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer at The Hartford. This event serves as a meaningful tribute to the memory and legacy of Eileen Peters Farley ’68, an accomplished entrepreneur and long-term president of the Southern California QU Alumni Chapter.

President Judy Olian and Dean Holly Raider welcomed guests and highlighted the significance of the event, along with the mission of the center, now led by two new co-directors, Professor Tuvana Rua and Professor Tamilla Triantoro. The introductions and award presentation were followed by a fireside chat with Susan L. Johnson and Associate Dean Poonam Arora. The conversation focused on turning obstacles into opportunities and the importance of leveraging your differences to turn them into strengths. “Take the time to understand your diversity story,” Johnson emphasized in her message, “everyone at the table has an equal seat.” She closed with a message to the student attendees, encouraging them to always prioritize their professional growth, as one of the most valuable assets is their network.

The endowed fund was generously established in 2018 by Eileen’s late husband, Stephen Farley, and Jessica Geis. Its purpose is to bring a distinguished businesswoman to campus each year to share expertise with students, faculty, and the community at large. The 2022 Impact Award was presented to Hang Black, VP of Revenue Enablement & Sales Tech Evangelist at ZoomInfo, in recognition of her passionate advocacy for women in the workplace.
