Report from: David Camp
Speakers: Marquita Brown, Oscar Pope, John Peters

Former Ole Miss students Marquita Brown, Oscar Pope, and John Peters spoke at the Overby Center on Friday, October 21, about their careers after graduating.

The former students talked about how Ole Miss made them prepared for life after college.

Speaking about finding a job, Pope says … and these are his exact words… “Its not the grades you make, It’s the hand you shake.”

Around 30 people showed up to listen to the lecture that started at 10 A.M.

During the lecture, Ole Miss Journalism Professor Deidra Jackson asked the former students to explain what they're doing now.

Brown, Pope, and Peters all have jobs in different areas of the country, including Washington and Atlanta. At the end of the lecture the former students answered questions from the audience.
