An Olympic Journey

Olympic athlete Lauren Gibbs Pointing to her silver medal

Graduating from college, climbing the corporate ladder, then walking away to chase a dream on a national stage — it sounds like a plot fit for the big screen. But for Lauren Gibbs, a corporate executive turned Olympic medalist, it’s her inspirational life story, which she will share as the keynote speaker at the Centre College Women’s Leadership Conference in March. Gibbs was a silver medalist in the two-woman bobsled event at the 2018 Winter Olympics and followed with a gold medal in the event at the 2020 World Championships. Today, Gibbs serves as vice president of business development for the Posse Foundation. Gibbs’ mid-career pivot taught her innumerable lessons, which she now shares with audiences across the globe. Join us for her keynote address on Saturday, March 9th. Gibbs' appearance is part of the Press Distinguished Lecture series.

This event is open to the public.
