Our Mavericks Lecture Series is how we connect cable industry luminaries (“Mavericks”) to college students across the country.

These on-campus presentations from our Mavericks speakers—many of whom are also Innovation Laureates—are a way for industry leaders to share lessons, experience, and wisdom to future graduates.

Mavericks Lectures are not only inspiring, but also a useful recruitment opportunity for our partner organizations, many who offer student internships and full-time positions.

The Mavericks Lecture Series has inspired (and hired) college students all over the US from both large universities and smaller schools and community colleges.
