Join A&S Career Development for a Career Conversation with Lawrence Gleason about his career path and experience as an Entrepreneur and Executive.

Career Conversations are meant to be small networking sessions designed to offer the chance to get answers to your most pressing questions about a particular career field. There is no formal agenda for this event, just a group of 5-15 students who will ask questions about Lawrence's career path and/or about the fields of management and entrepreneurship. 

Students should come prepared to ask questions. Lawrence will give a 10-15 minute overview of his career path, and then there will be a Q&A session (with students asking the questions).  Open to undergraduate students in all colleges.
