| Alumni Weekend Spotlight | Anderson Propelled Jim (‘04) and John Baudino (‘04) to Diverging Careers |
|
As they prepare to celebrate their 15-year Anderson class reunion, twin brothers and best friends Jim (’04) and John Baudino (‘04) reflect on their shared experiences and distinctive paths to their current careers. Today, they work in two different and rapidly changing industries: marketing technology and the cannabis industry.
