“COMM-ingling – Getting on board”

Prof. Michael Mehler

11:00 am Vukovich Lobby

Description: An open conversation about the winding path from college graduation to becoming a leading board member with a national non-profit. The discussion will focus on how the path we plan to walk after walking across the stage is not nearly as interesting as the journey. Mehler will talk about finding professional mentors, the personal and professional benefits of volunteer work, and the importance of risk and ethics in leadership. A light lunch will be served after the talk and Q&A session.
