He talked with students about his time at Duke University and his career post-college, giving invaluable academic and career advice to students interested in studying the intersections of finance, business, and public policy. He also went over Fidelity\u2019s role in public and economic policy and the relationship between Congress and major financial and investment companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cJ.J Johnson was the most influential guest speaker I have ever had speak to a class of mine, both at Duke and prior to Duke. What separates J.J from other important figures is the care he demonstrated towards people he had just met. J.J provided me not only with general career advice, but also specific guidance and encouragement regarding my personal career goals. This was very meaningful to me, and completely changed my perspective of my role in Public Policy, giving me a renewed feeling about my education. For the first time in college, I felt confident in my decision about my major. I thought, \u2018Yea, this is the right field for me\u2019. I am forever grateful for this opportunity!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
