"The Life After College Program provides a unique opportunity for undergraduates to listen to the success stories of our predecessors. We discover that many of them were just like us: lost, confused, but determined and resourceful. Listening to CEO's admit their mistakes in person and illustrate how they've learned from them has helped me gain confidence when I interact with possible employers and colleagues. Certainly, I still will make mistakes, but I am no longer afraid to make the effort."
- Justin Brown '11, Satell Scholar
