Summer Institutes for Philosophy Undergraduates

“It took a year of practicing to realize large law firm work did not provide me with the mental energy I need. I worked for a legal publisher as a reference attorney and later, as a product manager. I enjoyed creating products for lawyers and the challenge of new technologies. Today, I lead innovators who explore new product concepts with probable customers. My specialty is business modeling. My philosophy degree taught me to take a disciplined approach to examining ideas and innovations. It taught me how to analyze arguments—a skill that has broad applicability in the world of corporate leadership.“
