A graduate of Princeton University and the University of Texas Medical School, Youngblood is regarded as one of the top medical and business professionals in Texas. "With The Executive Series, we are providing our students and members of the Nashville community with face-to-face conversations with the top leaders who are shaping our economy on a daily basis," said Dr. Jens Frederiksen, vice president of institutional advancement and strategic development. "The demands of a global economy and the versatility required of leadership are inspiring to students and are also aligned with Fisk's rigorous liberal arts curriculum. Our students are prepared to be leaders, but the exposure to senior executives provides an invaluable perspective." Launched in 2016, the Series is part of a continuous effort by Fisk University to establish relationships with regional, national, and global corporations in different sectors to support networking opportunities and recruitment. The Executive Series will include an hour-long lecture, followed by a Q-and-A session for attendees. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
