Meeting of Minds

Our associate attorney, Wendy Alton, was recently invited to speak at the 20^th Annual “Meeting of Minds” Symposium at her alma mater, the University of Michigan-Dearborn.  The “Meeting of Minds” is an annual symposium that provides students from the University of Michigan-Dearborn, University of Michigan-Flint, and Oakland University a platform for presenting their independent research.  It also showcases the student-faculty collaboration in research and creativity. 

While a student at UM-Dearborn, Wendy presented her own physics and literature research at the 1998 “Meeting of Minds” on the use of “Chaos Theory” in Tom Stoppard’s play Arcardia.  This year, she was invited to share about how her experiences then made an impact on her professional career and personal life.  She was honored to be the only alumni invited to speak to the students and faculty, and was thrilled to be involved in the 20^th anniversary of such a wonderful academic celebration.  She spoke to over 200 students and faculty about how her experience at the 1998 “Meeting of the Minds” showed her the importance of maintaining motivation, taking advantage of opportunities, and committing to mentorship.

Wendy focuses her practice in the area of family law, probate and estate planning.  If you are interested in learning more about any of those areas, please contact her at 248-380-9976, or at walton@fb-firm.com.
