BusinessWeek featured Elon's efforts to reach out to students' families as part of its Career Services programs. The magazine says, " ... It's hard to find a school that has more seamlessly capitalized on friends and family networks than Elon University in North Carolina..."
Quoted in the story are Mary Gowan, dean of the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business, Tom Vecchione, director of career services, and Elon parent David Turner, CFO of the markets division at Thomson Reuters, where two students are currently doing internships.
BusinessWeek notes that Elon “has forged alliances with major finance powerhouses and boutiques alike” as it works with parents and friends to open doors to both undergraduates and MBA students in their job and internship searches.
