Professional Biography
Professor Nick Washienko has taught at Boston University for the past twenty five years, and for the past twelve years at the School of Hospitality Administration. He has taught courses in Hospitality Law, Business Ethics, and Managerial Communications. He holds a Ph.D. from Boston University. While working at the University he also earned his J.D. from the Boston University School of Law.
In addition to teaching at the school, Nick also has a very active consulting practice. For twenty five years Nick has worked with corporate executives and politicians preparing them for major business critical speaking engagements. During that time he has worked with many of the top corporations in America, including Fidelity Investments, Prudential, Marsh & McLennan, Texas Instruments, State Street Research, Mellon Financial, Wyeth, Novartis, Allergan, Serono,First Data, American Express, AT&T, Cognos, and many large law firms in the Boston, New York, and Washington, DC area.

Nick is a frequent speaker at leadership conferences, programs, and symposia. He has spoken at Harvard Business School Executive Education Programs, Babson College Executive Education Center, Linkage Inc, Linkage Asia, The Center for Management Research, the Mass Bankers Association, and the National Association of Corporate Directors. These experiences have given Nick a wealth of experience to share with his students.
At the same time, Nick is absolutely committed to the premise that his students' education should be firmly grounded in the classical liberal arts. Thus, whether teaching courses in law, ethics, or communications, his students learn not only specific facts, they also learn about their place in history and their responsibility to hand over the world to their children as a more safe, fair, and just society.
