New GSBLSU Course for 2016 Session

Even though our students participate in over 70 hours of classroom work in their three years on campus, constant changes in the industry make it challenging to address frequently- changing issues that are important to the successful operation of a bank. While these issues may be very important they often do not justify the attention of a full five-day course.

A new course will be introduced at the 2016 session entitled ”Current Banking Issues” which will identify and address new topics in banking that are not covered in other courses. This course will be headed by Jeff Szyperski, President of Chesapeake Bank and Bruce Whitehurst, President of the Virginia Bankers Association. Both Jeff and Bruce are heavily involved in working with legislators, regulators and others to promote the efficiency and well-being of the industry and bring to the school many years of practical experience.

The topics of the course will vary from year to year to recognize changes in the banking and financial environment. We have high expectations for this course.
