Keep Getting Better Appstate.edu David on LinkedIn   Quotes   “Once we can get the students to listen to us, to meet people from the profession, to take a class with us and meet people from the industry, it’s like turning a lightbulb on. They realize there are some really good opportunities here.”   “The biggest thing would be to set up internships. So, the companies that year-in and year-out hire our top students don’t wait and show up their senior year in the spring career fair and try to hire them, they’re recruiting them their sophomore and junior year.”   “So many things in life feel random, you just happen to be at the right place at the right time, but if you don’t show up then you miss that opportunity.”

What Is The Future of Risk and Risk Management Students? With David Marlett

The men and women of American Red are among the most fascinating in American history. When, at the dawn of the 20th century, the Idaho governor is assassinated, blame falls on “Big Bill” Haywood, the all-powerful, one-eyed boss of the Western Federation of Miners in Denver. Close by, his polio-crippled wife, Neva, struggles with her wavering faith, her love for another man, and her sister’s affair with her husband. New technologies accelerate American life, but justice lags behind. Private detectives, battling socialists and unions on behalf of wealthy capitalists, will do whatever it takes to see Haywood hanged. The scene is set for bloodshed, from Denver to Boise to San Francisco. America’s most famous attorney, Clarence Darrow, leads the defense—a philandering U.S. senator leads the prosecution—while the press, gunhands, and spies pour in. Among them are two idealists, Jack Garrett and Carla Capone—he a spy for the prosecution, she for the defense. Risking all, they discover truths about their employers, about themselves and each other, and what they’ll sacrifice for justice and honor—and for love. David Marlett is an award-winning storyteller and writer of historical fiction, primarily historical legal thrillers bringing alive the fascinating people and events leading to major historical trials.
