Student Professional Development Center (Career Services)

Josh Norris' passion for sports was why it didn't take the Elon University senior long to visit Career Services last spring when he learned of a unique opportunity. With help from office staff, Norris polished his cover letter and resume, and just days later the senior communications major had landed a summer internship with the NFL's St. Louis Rams.

In an effort to support relationships with community partners, last week 25 non-profit leaders gathered on Elon University's campus for the 20th pre-semester Preparing for Partnership session hosted by the Kernodle Center for Service Learning and Community Engagement and facilitated by Tammy Cobb, assistant director for community partnerships.

Ross Wade, the assistant director of career services for the School of Communications, was interviewed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers regarding his "Six-Word Professional Statement" exercise for an article in the NACE's "Spotlight Online" newsletter.

Keyaha Wescott, internship coordinator for the Love School of Business, has been appointed to serve on the Raleigh Community Advisory Board of the North Carolina Regional Black Chamber of Commerce.
