Enfield, CT--29 year-old Jason Ryan Dorsey is scheduled to speak at Asnuntuck Community College's Career Day event on Monday, April 7 at 7 p.m. and Tuesday, April 8 at 9 am in the college's auditorium.

A respected national leader of his generation, Jason Dorsey understands education and teenagers.  He has worked directly with approximately 500,000 students, educators, and parents from all 50 states and over 140 countries.  His expertise has been showcased through his multiple appearances on CBS’s 60 Minutes, NBC’s Today Show, features on ABC’s The View and 20/20, and written about in the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series.  He works tirelessly to help people of all backgrounds and aspirations throw away excuses, create innovative learning environments, and pursue passions that benefit society.

Jason authored his first bestselling book, Graduate to Your Perfect Job, at the tender age of 18.  This reader-friendly self-help book developed into a supplementary course and is now the most widely used program of its kind in American schools ever developed by someone under the age of 30.  His second book, Violence Not Allowed, created a nationwide youth movement to prevent all kinds of school violence.  For his innovation, Jason was recognized by the President of the United States.  Currently, Jason delivers his high-energy presentations over 200 times each year and is the most highly sought after young speaker in America today. His next book, 50 Ways to Improve Schools for Under $50, reveals the most cost-effective ways he’s discovered for strengthening school culture. Jason’s latest book, My Reality Check Bounced! takes a nontraditional approach to helping young adults pave their professional path.
