Fletcher Thomson ‘98 wins $50 million verdict for CT client
July 30th, 2010 by delisim
Our very own Fletcher Thomson ‘98 recently won the Largest jury verdict in CT history for a trade secret case.
The case was also profiled on the Lafayette website with the requisite reference to livestock, albeit unrelated to his victory in court.
Fletch, who previously participated in the DKE Speakers Bureau, is planning on returning to campus on October 15 ahead of Homecoming weekend to discuss his experiences. What a great way to kickoff the 155th anniversary!

Homecoming October 24th 2009
October 2nd, 2009 by delisim
A reminder to everyone that Homecoming is on October 24th, 2009. The game against Fordham begins at 1PM.
On Friday night, we invite attendees of the Marquis Founders dinner to a pre-reception at the House beginning at 5PM. Our alumni can then proceed to the dinner together.
Later Friday night, because we are on probation and cannot have social events on campus with alcohol, we are going to Mothers Bar and Grill on the circle in downtown Easton. We encourage alumni to stop by the House before heading down. The undergraduates will provide transportation for any alumni who require it.
On Saturday, we will be serving breakfast in the House and there will be tailgating on March Field prior to the game. The annual brothers meeting will be at noon in the living room this year. We will again have a tent up in case of inclement weather and a BBQ for food throughout the grill.

Neff, Spencer Stuart’s 71-year-old U.S. chairman and top CEO recruiter, is a pivotal player.
