NEWTON, Mass. — Camdyn LaMarre of Belgrade, a Lasell University student, presented at the institution’s annual Career Readiness Symposium.
LaMarre participated in a mock trial exercise in which students took on various roles in a criminal trial. The mock trial is a simulation of a judicial proceeding that provides students with knowledge of the judicial system, legal process, and courtroom procedures. The event incorporated the NACE competencies of professionalism, leadership, career and self-development, and moral and ethical reasoning, according to a news release from the university.
Lasell’s symposium takes place every fall and asks students to present original research, projects, or field skills that align with core career competencies shared by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Part of the symposium’s goal is to collectively assist students in identifying and pursuing opportunities that allow them to become proficient in those areas as preparation for successful transitions into the workplace.
