Boylston student participates in Lasell’s Career Readiness Symposium 

NEWTON — Laurel Holmes, a Lasell University student from Boylston, participated in the institution's annual Career Readiness Symposium. 

Holmes shared a presentation on their experience in the Lasell Works Sophomore Year Experience program. Lasell Works is a professional development program completely unique to Lasell University. During sophomore year, students in the Lasell Works program live off campus, take their courses online, and engage in a work experience. 

Holmes' presentation, "How I Spent My Sophomore Year Experience: Living & Working in Hotels," reflects on their work experience, what they learned and how they were transformed because of their Sophomore Year Experience. 

Lasell's Career Readiness Symposium takes place every fall and asks students to present original research, projects or field skills that align with core career competencies shared by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Part of the symposium's goal is to collectively assist students in identifying and pursuing opportunities that allow them to become proficient in those areas as preparation for successful transitions into the workplace.
