8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
STUDENT SESSION: From Green to Gray
Listen to a panel of four people with various ranges of experience (from 1 to 40 years) discuss their know-how and ambitions. The audience (mostly students, but hopefully others, too) will be asked to submit questions prior to and during the discussion on such issues as job duties/responsibilities, past experiences, satisfactions/dislikes, balancing non-work life, and what makes people go to work each morning. Gain perspective on how people of various levels of experience approach their work. This can be useful to both the prospective employee/new college graduate or CEO interested in staying abreast of employee issues.
