Distinguished Lecture Series to Host Carl DeSantis: “Life After Sundown,” Sept. 25
The H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship’s Distinguished Lecture Series is proud to welcome Carl DeSantis, former Chairman of the Board of Rexall Sundown, Inc. to Nova Southeastern University’s main campus for a lecture entitled, “Life After Sundown.” The lecture is free and open to the entire NSU community. DeSantis will address students, faculty and staff on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 10:30 a.m. in the Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center located on main campus.
DeSantis’ entrepreneurial spirit was evident since his youth when he sold newspapers and raised parakeets to help his family. He entered the health industry as a stock boy at Walgreens and soon became one of the chain’s top store managers. In response to consumer demand, DeSantis created Sundown, an effective but inexpensive sunburn treatment.
Recognizing the increasing interest in nutrition and health products, he started the successful company Rexall Sundown, Inc., which was the leading developer, manufacturer, and marketer of vitamins, nutritional supplements, and other consumer health products. Since his days at Rexall Sundown, Inc., DeSantis authored the best-selling book, Vitamin Enriched. In his lecture, he will talk about his lifetime of entrepreneurial successes and about his life after serving as a leading executive.
