Governor Thornburgh networks with students from the College of Business Administration
The College of Business Administration Career Services office recently hosted Governor Dick Thornburgh via Skype in the Robert S. McCulloch Family Alumni Networking Zone for an hour-long networking session with current business students. About 25 undergraduate business students spoke with Governor Thornburgh about his career as a lawyer, an elected official, and his current role as counsel at K&L Gates. In addition to speaking about his experiences throughout his various career paths, Governor Thornburgh offered his insights on leadership, the role of ethical corporate governance in solving the issues in the financial systems today, lessons learned from his leadership during the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster, and his take on the political landscape in 2011.
Message from the Governor
The Forum was established at the late Dick Thornburgh’s Law School alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh. In connection with the Dick Thornburgh Papers held by the University's Hillman Library, the Forum reflects his experiences in public life. It is in intended to foster discourse on issues vital to the preservation of our democratic system and the Rule of Law upon which that system depends.
Special thanks are due to Chancellor Emeritus Mark Nordenberg who serves as the Director of the Dick Thornburgh Forum and has been unstinting in support of this effort since its inception. In addition, many others have provided time, resources and dedication to this undertaking.
