Huizenga Business School Faculty Member Presents to Hometown High School and University Students
Albert Williams, Ph.D., associate professor of Finance and Economics at NSU’s Huizenga Business School, made two presentations to students at the University of Belize (UB), Punta Gorda Town in Southern Belize. UB is an English-speaking, multi-location institute for higher education, and the national university of the Central American country of Belize.
In his initial presentation, Williams discussed the offensiveness of calling an East Indian living in Southern Belize by the name, ‘Coolie.’ He encouraged all racial groups living in Southern Belize to treat each other with respect and refrain from calling each other by racial slurs.
Williams also presented to a group of UB business students the linkages between finance and economics.
The trip represented a homecoming of sorts for Williams having grown up in Punta Gorda Town attending high school and early college (St. John’s College at Belize City).
At the invitation of a history teacher who attended Williams’ initial presentation; he was invited to speak before more than 100 high school history students at Toledo Community College, also located in Punta Gorda Town.
