Lunch with a Leader

We hope you will join us for our virtual Lunch with a Leader series during spring of 2021.
Lunch with a Leader is a series of opportunities to converse with industry leaders in a casual setting. Learn more about career paths and industry trends. Since we can’t meet in person right now we will Venmo you $10 after the Lunch with a Leader for your next meal!
Registration is required and you may register for multiple speakers by using the links below. If it turns out you cannot attend a lunch, please notify entrepreneurship@lclark.edu as soon as possible so we can release the spot to a wait listed student. You may not transfer your position to another student–we will go through the wait list first, but encourage your friends to sign up.
These lunches count for credit for Passport to Leadership and the Work Study Pilot.
