Career Success Profiles
Advancing with faculty support
“Elon is a place where I could grow as an individual and have faculty support. I could construct my engineering degree the way I wanted, so I could get the most out of my experience. I’m more than a number on paper like I would have been at a big 30,000-person school.”

After Graduation: mechatronics engineer at Bravo Team LLC

“It’s such a rewarding experience to meet an Elon undergraduate at the Job and Internship Expo, stay connected through their college career, and then be able to call them a colleague after graduation. It’s no coincidence Golin is consistently voted a Best Place to Work in PR, there are Elon graduates everywhere you look.”
