Westminster College brings in special guests to have lunch and meet with students several times during the academic year.
"Last year we had four "Let's Do Lunch Programs," Edmiston said. "Our students who attend these lunches really enjoy the informed atmosphere, which stimulates great questions and conversation. They can talk informally over lunch with interesting people. It's a chance to learn about their careers, educations, lifestyles and them."
Last year's guess included Dr. Lynne McCrillis, a pediatrician from the Greenville Medical Center; Carmen Piccirillo, chief of the New Wilmington Police Department; Chuck Waugaman, Ph.D., senior mechanical engineer for General Electric Transportation Systems and Rail; and Brian Lohr, senior associate director of admissions at Notre Dame University and 1984 Westminster graduate.
