Clark Atlanta University’s School of Business Administration will host the “The Future of Work: A Look at the 4th Industrial Revolution” forum on Monday, Oct. 31, 2022, with guests Dr. Patrick Dicks, Commissioner Tim Echols, Mr. Trayvon Leslie, and Dr. Candace Steele Flippen. The guests will discuss their career industries, including automation and artificial intelligence, environmental sustainability, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing, and will answer questions from student moderators and attendees.
“The panelists are thought leaders in their professions and want to help students become drivers in this fourth industrial revolution," said Clark Atlanta University School of Business Administration visiting professor Angelia Pressley. “Students can learn from industry professionals while fulfilling a class assignment simultaneously.”
The hybrid event will take place in the Carl and Mary Ware Academic Building Room 101 from 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., with a breakfast mixer preceding the event at 9:30 a.m. A virtual option also is available. In-person attendees are encouraged to wear business or business casual attire.
