Accomplished alumni shared their experiences and perspectives with students at the third annual McDonogh Network Spring Meeting and Senior Celebration earlier this month in Farinon College Center. Students were able to network, discuss specific careers, and get advice about entering the workforce. The event honored the achievements of black and African American members of the Lafayette community and the Class of 2013. It was hosted by the McDonogh Network, which is Lafayette’s black and African American alumni association.
