More than 750 people will participate in Bellevue University’s spring commencement on Saturday, June 6. The ceremony begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Omaha Civic Auditorium. Of those participating, 261 are earning their master’s degrees; 491 are earning their bachelor’s degrees.
This spring’s commencement speaker is Joseph H. Moglia, former CEO and current chairman of TD Ameritrade. Moglia’s vision and leadership greatly influenced TD Ameritrade’s evolution during the last decade from a small “dot-com” brokerage to one of the world’s most widely recognized names in financial services. He served seven years as CEO before becoming chairman in 2008. Moglia’s resume also includes time spent as a successful college football coach, professor and author of two books: one about investing, the other about football.
The student speaker is Tuckett Slade, a Salt Lake City native who earned his Bachelor of Science in Physical Education and Sports Studies. He was a member of the Bruin baseball team and the school’s Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
