Attorneys, physicians, teachers, university professors, vice presidents and presidents–these are just a few of the guests that the various departments within the College of Arts and Sciences lined-up Alumni Day lectures, seminars, and class visits. On October 7, faculty, staff and students greeted over 28 distinguished alumni from each of the College’s 16 departments and the Stevenson Center.
The College sponsored a law panel in the morning during which three alumni guests (David Abbey, attorney and partner with Abbey, Adams, Byelick, Kiernan, Mueller & Lancaster in St. Petersburg, FL; Ladonna Carlton, Founder of Carlton Trial Consulting Agency in Chicago; and Laura Long, corporate counsel with Bingham and McCutchen in Los Angeles, CA) participated. Following was a reception for all College guests, and the University sponsored Alumni Day luncheon.
