40 Under 40: Michael J. McLaughlin, Esq. ’04

My educational experience at Arcadia gave me the motivation to learn more about the world, to question norms, and to invest in myself. I had great professors who taught me how to tackle challenging issues with a creative thought process. In particular, Dr. Joshua Blustein made an impact on my life by teaching me to think critically and to look at any challenge from a different perspective. 

As president of the Student Government Organization, I gave a speech during the dedication of the Landman Library. It was my first introduction to public speaking, which has become a large part of my professional career. 

Never be afraid to take on new and challenging opportunities. You will learn the most from a challenging and adversarial experience.
