LORMAN, Miss. – Three Enterprise Mobility leaders will visit Alcorn State University on Oct. 8 to talk with students about careers, leadership and what it takes to stand out in today’s workforce.
The Dean’s Table Executive Lecture Series will feature Wesley Barton, Kisha Vassar and Kenyatta King. The lecture begins at 1 p.m. in the Rudolph Waters Classroom Building Auditorium.
School of Business Dean Ambassador Christian Scott will lead a round of student questions. The Enterprise recruiting team will host a networking social immediately following the lecture. Students are encouraged to dress professionally.
“Our students should never have to wait until graduation to sit across from the people who hire,” said Dr. Antwon Woods, dean of the School of Business at Alcorn. “The Dean’s Table puts Enterprise Mobility’s leaders in front of Alcorn students tomorrow, with real conversation and real access. That is what servant leadership looks like in action.”
Faculty and staff are asked to encourage students to attend and to join if their schedules allow. Alumni and friends are welcome. The lecture will also be available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify beginning Oct. 19.
