A time-honored and anticipated Lamar University tradition, ‘A Dinner and Conversation’ will be held during the spring semester on the 8th floor of the Mary and John Gray Library in the University Event Center.

For the ninth year, the Lamar University Office of Alumni Affairs will be hosting the annual event that gives

students the opportunity to network with successful alumni who are working in their field of study. Students participate in a reception and a seated dinner where they can ask questions about day-to-day realities of a career in their disciplines.

Successful Lamar University alumni host the tables, along with faculty representatives. This year the six hosts represent careers in business, criminal justice, engineering, nursing, law and medicine.

 Hosts include:
· Business
Fred Vernon, CEO/Founder, KLV Ventures

· Criminal Justice
Zena Stephens, Sheriff, Jefferson County

· Engineering
Lance Broussard, Area Vice President for Global Corporate Accounts and Business Development, Nalco Company

· Nursing
Jessica Pospisil, Traveling Nurse

· Law
Michael Eaves, Managing Partner, Calvert Eaves Clarke & Stelly, LLP

· Medicine
Bertron Brown, Internist, Christus Trinity Clinic
