Sep. 26, 2010—This past Thursday, Towers (upperclassmen area of Vanderbilt) had their first area-wide program called “Step Into the Office.” We had lots of food from Local Taco (yummy!), fabulous speakers Professor Cherrie Clark (former Bain consultant and Partner of an Education Perspectives firm) and Megan Nicklaus (Vanderbilt Career Center Associate Director).
