Public and nonprofit board member, strategic and legal business advisor and executive and professional development coach
This year, AbbVie Legal partnered with North Carolina Central University School of Law, FAMU College of Law and Southern University Law Center to engage with students and raise their profiles with employers. This week, alongside Browne Lewis, Deidre Keller and John Pierre, I had the privilege of speaking to students from each of these leading #HBCUs about AbbVie, legal careers in healthcare and the path to becoming an in-house attorney. Thank you to Eugenia Blackmon and Perry Siatis for moderating and to the students for their excellent questions and engagement. #hbcuweek
This is a great initiative. There is an under-recognized pool of talent beyond the Ivy League and Stanford
These 3 schools and their students demonstrably have that extra "something" that is found only within those bearing passion and belief in their purpose and abilities.
This is one of my favorite DIL initiatives. Thank you, Laura Schumacher, Perry Siatis, Eugenia Blackmon, Dean Browne Lewis, Dean Deidre Keller and Chancellor John Pierre and all of the school administrators and students who participated.
