The Bailey Seminar Series

Fred S. Bailey, a native of Champaign County and a University of Illinois alumnus, was a third-generation banker who headed the Champaign National Bank. Upon his death in 19955, Bailey's estate made a generous gift to the College of Business that established the Bailey Seminar Series, a weekly forum that provides a venue for students to learn from guest lecturers.
