Thought of the week: "Give Thanks"
A short week, but an eventful one. With everybody getting ready to feast on turkeys, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie, the lingering threat of finals seems a little bit more distant than it actually is. It is nice to be able to spend time with friends and family, and of course eat copious amounts of delicious foods!

​
My personal highlight of the week was working the Laurence F. Jones, III speaker event. Laurence is the founder and CEO of RiskVersity, a former Turner scholar and a UC alumnus. He talked about the importance of networking, a topic that I am very passionate about, as well!
​
I also thought it was funny to connect with him on LinkedIn a week before the event. In the context of networking, this is something he really appreciated!
​
UCBA inviting guest speakers in the context of the Entrepreneur Speaking Series is something that I have really appreciated. Being able to connect, network and grow as a professional transcends the academic boundaries of a business major. Whether you are a chemist, physicist or historian, networking is and always will be key!
