The 22nd Annual Spencer Lecture

Thank you to Carl Greppin ’83 who delivered this morning's 22nd Annual Spencer Lecture. Carl is Managing Partner of Transpac Access, a global supply-chain management firm. 

Carl spoke of his experiences in Kyrgyzstan, and how the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia on February 24, 2022, and the ongoing war there, have affected the citizens of Kyrgyzstan and its neighbors in Central Asia.

He received an MBA from University of Chicago's Booth School of Business and a PhD from Case Western Reserve University. He is an adjunct professor at John Carroll.

He lives in Shaker Heights with his wife Elizabeth, who graduated from Hathaway Brown, their daughter Katie who is a sophomore in college, and their son Chase, who is a senior at US.
