Student Professional Development Center (Career Services)

Elon University senior Tracy Schell wanted to stay on campus last summer to prepare for her final year of study, but she needed a paid internship to do so. That’s when she visited Career Services. Now, with her own Commencement just weeks away, Schell not only has work experience on her resume because of the visit - she has a job lined up with one of the region’s largest employers.

Last year’s iMedia graduates, the first from the program, have landed in an array of positions with organizations across the nation. Of the 32 graduates who responded to a survey from Career Services, 31 are employed full-time in a position directly related to their career aspirations.

As a student with more interests than she could count, Elon University senior Meredith Naughton found that simply having someone to consult about the future made her job hunt easier. She’s now headed to Hawaii to begin work with struggling teens – and she gives much of the credit to Career Services.
