The 2018 distinguished speaker was Mr. Chris Robinson '07. Robinson, sales manager with Pacific Press Technologies in Mount Carmel, Illinois, gave students advice for preparing for their future careers. He discussed聽creating聽your 'Rolodex' and using your connections, developing and defining your "why" statement, and creating your own personal brand awareness. He advised students that if they do these, they will set themselves up for success.
Dr. Marie Bussing, instructor in economics and ODE faculty advisor, and Dr. Sudesh Mujumdar, chair of economics, presented Robinson with the ODE medallion.
