Access Success Lecture Series

[Paul Young]

On Wednesday, November 4th from 1-2 p.m. in room C118 Parkland will
begin the first of a series of lectures that will expose our students
and staff to movers and shakers here in our own community. The
mystery speaker shown in the posters around campus is Rick Stevens,
CEO of Horizon Hobby. Rick will pass along what he has learned in
building a company from nothing to a successful enterprise that
employs nearly 700 people and sells products in more than 50 countries
around the world. Horizon Hobby offers a wide variety of job
opportunities that many students might be interested in pursuing (and
it is right here in Champaign!). This is a rare opportunity for
students/faculty to have access to CEO of a large company. Bring your
questions and learn! If you attend the lecture you will be eligible to
win a radio controlled truck or a radio controlled helicopter donated
to Parkland from Horizon Hobby. This lecture is sponsored by the VP of
Academic Services, Dean of Academic Services, and Dean of Career
Programs.
