LEHS Alums Return to UB to Share Career Advice and Words of Wisdom

The second annual “Knowledge at Work: A Conversation with LEHS Alumni” event took place last night with students, faculty, and alumni sheltered from the rain in the Bogomolny Room.  Seven History, Jurisprudence, and Legal Studies graduates fielded student questions about how they parleyed their degrees into interesting careers.  Whereas Stanley Brown (M.A. ’00) used his LEST degree to enter higher education administration, Godswill Agbagwa (M.A. ’12) used his to establish an NGO to cultivate leadership skills in Nigeria.  History graduate Natasha Jones (B.A. ’11) uses her research skills to make the archives at Johns Hopkins University more accessible; while Zippy Larson (B.A. ’82) has been conducting historical tours in Baltimore for many years.  This array of LEHS alumni definitely showed that the division’s programs prepare students for a wide variety of fulfilling careers.
