On May 21, the O'Donnell Speaker Series drew an engaged audience to the Cullen Center for the Arts for a dynamic panel discussion titled “How Does Buffalo Win Its Race to Relevance?”
Moderated by Principal Jim Spillman ’95, the evening featured alumni leader Bill Maggio ’80 and special guests Eric Reich and Tom Wiley. The panel explored how Buffalo’s start-up ecosystem is igniting bold investment, accelerating job creation and positioning the city as a serious contender on the national innovation stage. Guests left inspired by the idea that Buffalo is experiencing a true “lightning strike moment” and that the best is yet to come.
A special thank you to Jack O'Donnell '92, Hon. John O'Donnell '62, and family for sponsoring this biannual series.
