'Survivor' Winner to Speak at Williams - April 21, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN – Yul Kwon, the winner of "Survivor: Cook Islands," will speak at Williams College on Wednesday, April 30, at 8 p.m. in Baxter Hall, Paresky Student Center. It is free and open to the public.
Kwon won the hit CBS reality show during last year's highly controversial, racially-segregated season. His diverse career has straddled both the private and public sectors in law, politics, business and technology.
As an attorney, he clerked on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and practiced a mix of litigation, appellate, transactional and regulatory work at several law firms. As a legislative aide to Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., he helped draft portions of the Homeland Security Act. Several years ago, Kwon moved to the business sector, first joining management firm McKinsey & Co. and then Google's business strategy group.
On his way to winning "Survivor," Kwon skillfully led a multi-ethnic team and earned a reputation as one of the show's most strategic and honest players.
He has since worked to support charitable causes, raise the profile of Asian Americans in the media, and encourage youth to become active in their communities. He has spoken at many of the country's top corporations and universities and was recently named in People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive and Hottest Bachelor's issues.
He obtained his bachelor's degree from Stanford University, from which he graduated Phi Beta Kappa, and attended Officer Candidates' School for the Marine Corps. He received his juris doctorate from Yale Law School. |
