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.
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 the ELI minor, Passport to Leadership and the Work Study Pilot.
