Communications Majors

Professionals in the Student Professional Development Center (SPDC) welcome the opportunity to assist Elon Communications students and alumni in achieving their career goals. We invite you to make an appointment to polish your resume, strengthen your cover letter, or explore careers that fit your personality and interests.

Thirty-minute appointments can be made weekdays, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you are unable to make an appointment, we have 15-minute express drop-in hours Mondays through Thursdays, 2 to 4 p.m., during the academic year – first come, first served.
