The Podcast Series is intended to guide new and recent graduates to become quality professionals in these troubling times as they seek their careers and adjust to the new realities outside the walls of college campuses. Employers and professionals from various industries will share experiences, guidance, information, instruction and recommendations for graduates. The hope is for graduates to strategically navigate new useful ideas to deal with realities never taught in college. For this episode, we interviewed Dr. Courtney Hammonds. He personifies the definition of a renaissance man. With over 20 years of professional experience in multiple industries, he has built a solid reputation as a multi-gifted and multi-purposed professional in his roles as a global educator, marketing strategist, and fashion storyteller. An advocate for Higher Education and a lifelong learner, he championed the introduction of the Gap for Community Colleges program as Design Department Chair at the Art Institute of Atlanta & the Art Institute of Decatur, which was a part of “Skills for America’s Future”, a White House initiative that was launched under the President Obama administration.
