Alum Connections with Kameron Brackins, In-House Counsel for McKesson Specialty Health
If you have ever wondered about the realities of law school and what it really means to be in-house counsel vs. in private practice working in a firm, or working for the government, this is a great opportunity for you to get the advice you are looking for and also learn the multiple career paths within law practice. In addition, Kameron will discuss her own experiences navigating an economically uncertain job market after graduating and rising through corporate America as a young black woman. Lastly, Kameron will share with students her perspective on the importance of gaining what she calls “workplace sponsors” during your career progression and how they differ from mentors.
