    I joined an Alumni Panel in February 2016 as part of a Senior Saturday, describing how my Bennington education prepared me to be successful across multiple careers.

    In September 2013, I participated in a panel with other alum and joined an invitation-only focus group with the President, Mariko Silver, to talk about direction for the college.

    In late February 2009, I delivered the keynote address at Bennington's Senior Week focused on how to leverage a Bennington education in the 21st century's disruptive socio-business climate.
