Networking Works for Our Students
Networking opportunities abound through both the College and The Career Center, allowing you to meet and ask questions of professionals in your field of study.
NBC News Investigative Producer Robert Windrem ’68 has visited campus to speak with communication students and has participated in campus-wide panel discussions related to media issues.
Lynn Cadden ’80, ABC TV production executive; Brenda Scotland ’81, JP Morgan Chase vice president; Ernie Knewitz ’92, Johnson & Johnson senior director of external affairs; and Michael Sutch ’99, Aventis Pharmaceuticals director of Web presence, are just a few of the alumni who come to campus to meet and network with students.
Our networking interactions often lead to exciting internships and post-graduate employment. Students are interns in the fields of behavioral research, business and management, education, graphic design, health services, law and public safety, media relations, museum management, politics, publicity and marketing, social services, software development and web technologies.
