3. Family Research Enterprise Conference features poster session

The College of Business Administration will host the Fourth Annual Family Enterprise Research Conference from 2:30 p.m. Friday, April 18, until noon Sunday, April 20. The conference will be held at the Doubletree Hotel Milwaukee City Center, 611 West Wisconsin Ave., and at Raynor Library.

The Family Enterprise Research Conference is dedicated to developing a community of scholars interested in research to improve understanding of family firms and create usable knowledge. The conference aims to enable scholars to design and develop research projects that are theoretically sound, empirically rigorous and of practical significance and applicability to family firms. The scholars are inter-disciplinary — mainly business professors but also anthropology, family studies and law.

A free, public poster session will be held in the Beaumier Suites at Raynor on Saturday from 2:30 to 4 p.m. The conference itself costs $400 to attend. Register online.

5. Haggerty Museum featuring the Chas and Judy Mulcahy Thai art gift

The Patrick & Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the gift of Thai temple paintings from Chas and Judy Mulcahy with a talk by Darika Nantiya, adjunct professor of philosophy at Southern Connecticut University, on Saturday, April 19, at 6 p.m. in AMU 157. The 40 paintings, on view in the AMU, are derived from wall murals in Thai temples and other sacred sites. The talk will be followed by a performance of Thai dance by members of the Thai American Association of Milwaukee and reception featuring Thai cuisine.

The Haggerty’s collection of Thai paintings is a gift to the museum and Marquette from the Mulcahy’s. It is one of the largest collections of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, consisting of works on canvas by contemporary Thai artists who have revived the traditional styles and subjects originally conceived for temple murals.
