On Oct. 4, the Hull College of Business at Augusta University will play host to the latest installment of the Russell A. Blanchard Distinguished Lecture Series in Ethics. The lecture series is sponsored by an endowment provided by Georgia Bank & Trust (now part of South State Bank), given in memory of Mr. Blanchard. 

Even though Mr. Blanchard – known endearingly to his friends and colleagues as “Mr. Russell” – passed away in 2007, his positive influence continues to resonate through this community and is memorialized in this lecture series. Those who knew him personally honor him in the way they emulate his ethical behavior, and we at the Hull College of Business attempt to honor “Mr. Russell” by imparting the importance of ethics in business throughout our curriculum.
