CEO to discuss survival of company following Sept. 11
The president and CEO of Travelocity.com Inc. will discuss the survival of his company in the wake of the events of Sept. 11 and the dot-com crash, at 5 p.m. today in Dan Rogers Hall, Room 134, said Scott McCray, Delta Sigma Pi vice president.

Terry Jones is expected to speak to students and faculty about the restructuring his company had to do in order to keep making a profit, said McCray, a senior finance and accounting major.

“We feel that what he’s speaking about is very timely and it’s something students can get a lot out of,” McCray said.

Jones’ speech about Travelocity.com, whose headquarters are in Fort Worth, will be followed by a question and answer session. A reception will follow in the Dan Rogers Hall, Room 140.
