College Campus Presentations

 Lori's ten years experience as a higher education administrator, coupled with her image consulting expertise and work with Nashville-based recording artists, makes her a unique and vital addition to your campus programming.  She is the author of the #1 Amazon bestselling book Advance Your Image, and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal online blog, HerCampus.com, and CollegeRecruiter.com.


Lori's expertise in image and the role it plays in a college student's career preparation and job search supports what you regularly tell your students and does so with an impact, reinforcing your credibility with your students and bringing another perspective to them while remedying the "too-close-to-home" syndrome.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS:

"Prior to attending your presentation, I was filled with anxiety about the job search process.  However, I left your program feeling empowered and more confident of what I had to do and how to do it."

Michelle S.

"I have always loved fashion but never thought of image as going hand-in-hand with being an education major and a resident adviser,  When Lori came to talk to the resident/community advisers at the University of North Alabama, she proved me wrong and has inspired me not only to pursue my education career but also my love for fashion."

Abigail S.

"By following the suggestions you gave in your presentation, I have been very successful in my first job search experience.  I really appreciate your helpful advice! Thank you!"

Ying

"Wonderful!  Thanks so much Lori!  You've been a fantastic motivator.  Your advice helped me land a job in Dallas."

Lily H.

"I just got off the phone with a publishing company who has hired me for an internship!  I never could have gotten this internship without the advice you provided in your presentation.  You were a fantastic resource and now I have my dream job for the summer!"

Emma C.

FACULTY/ADMINISTRATOR TESTIMONIALS:

"I find Lori's ideas regarding presentations and programs for students in transition to be extremely novel, particularly dimensions involving helping freshmen improve their interactions with parents and their readjustment to family life at the completion of their freshman year.  Lori has previously presented on such issues at our annual FYE Conference alongside our center's own Dr. Betsy O. Barefoot."

John N. Gardner
National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transitio

"Lori was the perfect emcee for our professional attire fashion show. Not only did she give our students great tips on professional attire, but she also included great advice for job searching and success in life after graduation. "

Katie Wohlman
Asst. Dir. of Career and Personal Development, Lenoir-Rhyne University

"Thank you so much for your presentation yesterday.  You modeled the same behavior you were teaching the candidates."

Dr. Marie Hardenbrook
Director of Secondary Education
