Nissan executive, Disney recruiter visit Reclaim Tomorrow in August

Popular speaker Wayne Hampton, a recruiter for The Walt Disney Company, will make a return appearance, and Vicki Smith, senior manager of global communications at Nissan, will be among the August speakers at Reclaim Tomorrow: The Lipscomb Professional Resource Center, Lipscomb University’s career resource center for the community.

 

Reclaim Tomorrow: The Lipscomb Professional Resource Center allows the increasing number of professionals facing career transitions to personally converse with experts they could not normally receive access to, said Melissa Lowry, director of the program.

 

You may have seen Lowry recently on CareerTalk on Channel 5+ (Channel 50) during the month of July, or on Fox 17’s Tennessee Mornings.

 

One of the greatest services the center provides is its one-on-one interaction and counseling with expert professionals, who volunteer their time each month to provide career counsel, resume advice and offer networking suggestions.

 

Operating out of the McQuiddy office complex on campus (adjacent to Allen Arena), the center is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to noon. For more information, visit www.reclaimtomorrow.lipscomb.edu or call the center Director Melissa Lowry at 615.966.5331.
