by Michelle Saport |
Monday Nov. 16, 7 p.m. Student Union, Cafeteria Free for all
Hilary Corna graduated from Elon University in North Carolina with a bachelor's degree in international business and Asian/Pacific studies. When Corna was only 22 years old, she decided to follow her post-college dream of having a career in Asia. She bought a ticket to Singapore, and was hired there by Toyota as a senior executive officer. She worked for Toyota for three years conducting Kaizen (business improvements) in Asia, the Philippines, India and more.
In 2010, Corna returned to the United States. Since then she has published a nonfiction book, One White Face, about her life abroad. Both The New York Times and Forbes Women have featured her book. Currently, Corna is on a book tour nationwide, having already spoken to more 30,000 students. Her book is now being turned into a screenplay.
Hilary Corna is a great example of pursuing dreams and becoming successful after college--don't miss this inspiring talk. Free and open to the public.
