BLF is designed to give students a taste of potential professions and career paths while learning from executives in the field. It features business leaders from a broad spectrum of industries including legal, accounting, culinary, tech, finance, HR, marketing and entrepreneurship.

It is held in an auditorium-style classroom on campus on Wednesdays from 1-1:50 during the academic year.
