"The program helped me realize many of the country's greatest leaders started out as uncertain young adults;  knowing this alleviated much of the fear that goes along with college graduation and gave me confidence toward building my career."   -Edward Kerins '09, LACS participant/Satell Scholar 
 
"It was not only very helpful, but also very fun, and held our interest the entire time."

"I just wanted to thank you for leading today's trip to NYC. It was an excellent opportunity to meet alumni, and I was very excited that Career Services offered a networking event geared toward students with less conventional interests than business. I really enjoyed the trip [to Little Brown & Co. and MOMA], and I hope it will be offered again in the future for students with similar interests."  -Teresa Kline ‘13 Career Exploration Trek to NYC
