Creating Opportunity: How to Align Outside Skills and Interests with Your Career

In this talk, I will share my path to Bloomberg’s Engineering department and how the experiences and interests I developed before I joined the company have influenced my subsequent career journey. We’ll talk about my starting as an entry-level software engineer, recognizing opportunities to grow inside and outside my role, getting involved with philanthropy and DEI initiatives at Bloomberg, and transitioning to people leadership. We will conclude with a fun segment about the Bloomberg Puzzle Team, what makes a good puzzle, and tips on both solving and creating one.

Warch Campus Center Update

Thank you everyone for your patience and attention to safety as we executed a very large portion of the freight elevator project at the Warch Campus Center on Tuesday. Looking forward, we have concrete work taking place on Friday the 20th and some small crane work on Tuesday the 24th. After that, the work out in front of Warch should be minimal. As always, safety first please!

Should you have any questions or concerns, please reach out: katherine.lehman@lawrence.edu

Attention! Important Reminder for Warch Campus Center

On Tuesday, January 17th, the penthouse for the new freight elevators is being hoisted on to the roof of Warch Campus Center. Due to having a large crane on E. Boldt Way, there will be barricades in place and people supervising for foot traffic safety. However, please be aware and cautious of your surroundings at all times while in the area. Inside Warch, there will be areas and a stairwell caution-taped off for safety. Please do not enter these areas. Please note that the freight elevators will be closed on Monday and Tuesday, the 16th and 17th, and the link/hallway between Sage Hall and Warch will also be closed on Tuesday, the 17th.
