Carlton Fields’ Lori Baggett Delivers Stetson Law Commencement Address

Carlton Fields Tampa Office Managing Shareholder Lori Baggett delivered the Stetson Law commencement address at a December 5 ceremony.

Baggett offered the outgoing graduates three charges: approach careers and life with deliberate intent, take authentic action that lives up to aspirations, and share success by giving back to the community.
