The sixth annual, concurrent seminars will be led by award-winning professors and journalists, including New York Times reporter Diana B. Henriques, author of “The Wizard of Lies” about the Bernie Madoff scandal.
Rachel Tobin, business reporter for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, said her 2010 fellowship to the Strictly Financials Seminar “gave me much more confidence in my financial reporting, has allowed me to ask better and smarter questions, and overall improved my coverage. I cannot thank the Reynolds Center enough for this amazing course.”
