Napoleon Brandford III, a 1974 graduate of PUC, recently retired Wall Street investment banker and former East Chicago Roosevelt basketball standout, spoke at both the Hammond and Westville campuses on Sept. 22 during a forum moderated by PNW students David Haddad and DeJon Gonzalez.

The presentation, titled “Build Your Brand, Live Your Mission,” was first delivered at the Westville campus in room 1113 of the Dworkin Student Services and Activities Complex at 10:50 a.m. and later at the Hammond campus in Alumni Hall of the SUL.

Brandford recently retired from Siebert Brandford Shank, the number one ranked minority-owned investment bank firm in the nation, and named among the top 10 firms on Wall Street in 2010.
