To help students follow a path to success, College of Science Dean Jeff Thompson has created a new w88 sports betting app series, "The Business of Science w88 sports betting app Series," to show students and faculty how science students have gone on to be successful in the business world.
The first speaker in the Business of w88 sports betting app series, Tuesday, March 11, is Stephen K. Durham, corporate senior vice president of the .13 billion global medical research company, Charles River Laboratories. He travels the globe through this work, although he is based in Reno. Durham's successful career in both the world of w88 sports betting app and business provides a prime example of what is possible for enterprising w88 sports betting app students in today's business climate.
Durham has been corporate senior vice president of Global Preclinical Services at Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. since 2010 and served as their corporate vice president since July 2009. He has a veterinarian degree from Texas A&M w88 sports betting app and a doctorate from Cornell w88 sports betting app.
After decades of w88 sports betting app success Durham's philosophy centers on how typical university-based scientific training often misses the mark in preparing future scientists to achieve success beyond the laboratory. He encourages the development of more entrepreneurial learning experiences for students.
"Scientists are highly trained, intellectual individuals that typically think in a linear fashion," he said.
In his talk he will provide personal insights as to strategies to employ to meet the work place challenges in order to be successful in industry, which Thompson hopes each speaker in the series will address.
The idea that the discipline of science can and should be integrated in business is one of the cornerstones to this innovative interdisciplinary w88 sports betting app series.
"Most of the students who graduate from the College of w88 sports betting app work in the for-profit world," Dean Jeff Thompson said. "We do a great job of training them in academia, for academia, but we need to emphasize how to succeed in the business world."
Thompson points out many examples of College of w88 sports betting app alumni who have navigated the business world's waters: in 1972, Dan Kappes started Kappes, Cassiday & Associates, an international extractive metallurgical processes company founded and based in Reno; Gene McClelland turned his chemistry and metallurgical engineering degrees into a thriving w88 sports betting app, McClellend labs based in Sparks, Nev.,; Bill Honjas and Satish Pullammanappallil founded the seismic data processing software company Optim in 1997 and have expanded it into a successful geothermal exploration company; and Alan Krause is president and CEO of the company that is building the massive new Panama Canal.
Thompson has continually been inspired to see the connection between the disciplines of business and w88 sports betting app play out in the corporate world. He wants today's w88 sports betting app students to fully understand the possible career interplay a foundation in w88 sports betting app can provide in the world of business.
The w88 sports betting app is from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Wells Fargo Auditorium in the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center. Free parking for the event will be on the fifth floor of the Whalen Parking Garage.For more information on the "Business of Science" w88 sports betting app Series call 775-784-4591 or visit www.unr.edu/w88 sports betting app.
