Mason Korea recently welcomed George Mason alumnus Christopher Stokes (B.A. in Sociology & Anthropology, '03), General Manager of Eli Lilly and Company Korea, as part of the Distinguished Lecture Series.
Over 100 students gathered to hear Stokes' story, from his days as a college track athlete to his role as a pharma sales representative, which paved the way for his current leadership position at Lilly Korea.
Stokes highlighted "learning agility, writing, problem-solving, and collaboration" as essential foundational skills for starting a career. He also encouraged students to actively seek sponsors and maintain healthy relationships with them to receive realistic life mentoring.
