Presentations

I frequently present at major educational events around
the world. A selective list includes:

 

  • Dozens of presentations for the Association of MBAs—to business school deans and directors as well as to applicants—from London to Budapest.

 

  • Addressing American law school admissions directors at the annual LSAC (Law School Admissions Council) conference and pre-law advisors at regional and national conferences.

​

  • Presentations at Fulbright Centers across Europe regarding global MBA admissions, elite American university admissions, LLM admissions, and other topics.

 

  • Addressing graduate students, post-docs, and junior professors at universities ranging from CUNY to the University of Utah regarding how best to get out of academia.

 

  • Presentations to students at America’s leading universities, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, Penn, NYU, Texas, UCLA, USC, Berkeley, and Stanford, regarding business school, law school, and other graduate school admissions.

 

  • Addressing the National Association of Fellowship Advisors (NAFA) regarding lesser-known fellowship opportunities, assessing post-college opportunities, and the impact of fellowships on professional school admissions.

​

I also present to parent groups, college student associations, and other less-formal organizations.

 

My presentations are characterized by a high energy, interactive approach. I am routinely graded as the top presenter at major events.
