Abstract Kenneth Stephens is an alumnus of Georgia Tech and MIT, with a PhD in Nuclear Physics, an MS in Nuclear Engineering, and an MS in Management. Over his career of over 50 years, he has been recognized for his skill in solving a wide variety of difficult technical, administrative, and geopolitical problems. He served in five Presidential administrations as an employee or consultant for the Atomic Energy Commission, the Department of Defense, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Department of Energy, the National Nuclear Security Administration, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the National Laboratories, the intelligence community, and the National Academy of Sciences. During the Reagan administration, he managed a portion of the Strategic Defense Initiative (aka Star Wars). Now retired, he still is a consultant and gives guest lectures at universities and medical schools. As a volunteer, he narrates audio textbooks in math and physics for students who are blind, or have dyslexia or dyscalculia (sixth-grade to PhD level). In this seminar, he discusses some of his experiences and how he identified five lessons-learned that can help current students jumpstart their careers, no matter what their field might be. |
