On Monday, May 15, 2023, the University of Maryland’s Center for the Study of Business Ethics, Regulation & Crime (C-BERC), College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, and Robert H. Smith School of Business once again co-hosted the Fishlinger Family Lecture. This annual event is made possible by the generous support of Matt Fishlinger, GVPT '07, and Bill Fishlinger, GVPT '71, and their families.

If former lawmaker Barney Frank could go back in time and redo his response to the 2008 financial meltdown, he would start by closing a loophole that allows mortgage lenders to continue at least one dangerous practice from the pre-crisis era.

More than 100 students, faculty, staff, and alumni attended the 2018 Fishlinger Family Lecture Series on Feb. 7, 2018, with featured speaker Jeff Sonnenfeld, senior associate dean of leadership programs and the Lester Crown Professor in the Practice of Management at the Yale School of Management. His lecture was titled The Hero's Farewell: Courage, Character and Business Ethics in the Trump Era and was held in the Edward St. John Building at the University of Maryland.
