History and Politics Club--Clarkston

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The Lyceum Committee and the History and Politics Club of Clarkston Campus is sponsoring an event Wednesday, April 16th from 12:30 to 2:00pm in D 2180 that current GPC students should find interesting and useful. The event is called, ‘You CAN Get There From Here,’ and the program includes 3 recent GPC grads in various stages of the their post-GPC careers. They have agreed to come and talk to current GPC students about how our school helped prepare them for what they are now doing. Of course, students will have an opportunity to ask questions later on.

We think this idea would be very useful to our current GPC student body. Students often know that coming to college is a good idea, but sometimes it is great to see some concrete evidence of the utility of the GPC experience. Our speakers are Adel Powell, a PhD candidate at UGA, David Dechant, a former recipient of the Jack Kent Cooke scholarship and arborist, and Ali Lakhani a new employee of a forturne 500 company. Each student credits his and her time at GPC as critical to reaching their goals.

Once again, the event is Wednesday, April 16th 12:30pm to 2:00pm in D2180. Of course, if you can offer a little extra credit for attendance, that helps motivate students too!

Thank you all in advance,
