Gabriel Desjardins never planned to work in academic administration, let alone doing legal work for the University Secretariat at Concordia University. His career path changed quite drastically, and for the better, when he remained open to whatever opportunities were available. Even though he does not work directly in theology, his bachelor’s and master’s in theological studies prepared him for his career, both in transferable skills and a work ethic gained from the wisdom of the Gospels.
At this alumni talk, Gabriel will explain what led him to his current role as Officer, Access and Privacy, as well as the impacts that theology has had on his career so far.
