Livingston, originally from Knoxville but now
residing in New York, has been associated with Bank of America for
eighteen years. He has held senior roles

“Jay’s topics
will be sage advice for our students in the College of Business,” states Rick Mould,

fact, his suggestions for advancing in one’s career should have a broad,
interdisciplinary message for all of our students as well as for the
community.”

“I’m excited to
come back to Athens, a place where I have a lot of family and spent a lot of
time growing up,” states Livingston. “Despite living in the middle of New
York City, a small southern town always feels like home.”
