I made three visits during my senior year of high school to Duke, UNC, and Virginia. If I hadn’t gone to Duke, I would have went to Carolina, just like a lot of Carolina players who, had they not gone there, would have went to Duke.
As late as my junior year, I was taking Italian at Duke because I thought I was going to have to go overseas and play. Then I had a great senior year and became a lottery pick.

I ran away from home when I was a senior in high school, and it came out of all the conflicts that happen between parents and their children who can’t communicate.

When I was a senior in high school, I went to Ireland to study Irish Gaelic. And after one semester at Trinity College, I went way out to the west coast of Ireland and rented a little house by myself.
Senior year in college, a kind of confluence of events came together to have me pursue a career in acting. I was planning on being a lawyer; I double majored in history and political science. I took the LSAT and did horribly on it, and that was one thing that made me rethink a new direction.
Senior officials are always looking for good juniors, so when the opportunity comes, they give you the responsibilities.

My senior year I felt I put a lot more time into the offseason to make a lot more happen. Going out my senior year, I felt like I did everything I wanted to do and more. I felt like I dominated and I feel comfortable going to the next level and that I’m ready.
One of the nice things about the Senior Tour is that we can take a cart and cooler. If your game is not going well, you can always have a picnic.

Longevity is something I never gave a second thought to. I guess it’s the shadow of growing up in post WWII, but I never believed I would live past 20.

Having served as both attorney general and deputy attorney general in the Justice Department, I had responsibility for supervising the FBI, working on virtually a daily basis with its senior leadership.

Too many talk about a company’s leadership, referring to the senior most executives in the organization. They are just that: senior executives. Leadership doesn’t automatically happen when you reach a certain pay grade. Hopefully you find it there, but there are no guarantees.
The more senior your management position is, the more important it is to connect the organization or the project to the outside world. You know, how does this fit in with what we’re doing? What is the real goal, the real mission?

There are a very limited number of people in senior roles at the White House, and time is their most precious asset.
If your audience is young, it’d be youth culture, if your audience is older, it’d be older people, if it were senior citizens, it’d be senior citizen issues. So you try and hit the target audience.

As alleged, the most senior executives at Brixmor engaged in a years-long scheme to cook the books and deceive the investing public.
We have got to be more comfortable experimenting with different models. So maybe a client just needs execution people or a lot of young people who are great with social media. We don’t always have to give them the pyramidal structure of senior VP and account supervisor.
As a general rule, most recent university graduates know far more about U.S. economic history and ‘The Lord of the Flies’ than about how the modern workplace functions and how to succeed in it.
