At the Executive + Scholar Lecture Series, an industry leader and a research scholar are brought together to discuss a topic which they share a common passion or interest for. The series addresses two of the center's goals: objective sharing of information and professional development of students.

Through the Executive + Scholar Lecture series, students are able to gain valuable insight into the digital retailing industry, listen to career advice from top-level executives, and leave feeling inspired and empowered to become the next generation of future retail leaders. The lecture series is held in the fall on the UNT campus.
