William S. Matthews

Focal Event Provides Opportunity for Graduating Seniors to Garner Real-World Insight and Advice

NEW ORLEANS, LA, UNITED STATES, April 28, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- World-recognized public speaker, event planner, and 3x best-selling author, William S. Matthews, has been chosen to lead a special virtual event designed specifically for Dillard University’s graduating class of 2021. A 2004 Dillard University alumni, Williams will share a combination of knowledge and skill shaped by his personal experience as a thriving BIPOC entrepreneur and real estate investor in today’s corporate America landscape.

“To me, Dillard University has always exemplified the best in helping people move forward. It is these three elements of Dillard’s history that have had the greatest impact on me personally: intellectual rigor and curiosity, devotion to serving our fellow men and women, and a reverence for our shared past. That is part of why I chose Dillard and why I am so deeply honored that Dillard has chosen me to speak with this year's graduates,” says Matthews.

In addition to the “Fireside Chat,” graduating seniors will have the opportunity to enter a raffle to win Matthews’ most recent best-selling book “Everything I Needed to Know about Corporate America,” as well as a one-hour “Mentor-to-Mentee” coaching session.

Mr. Matthews is available for interviews and speaking engagements.
