Triumph of the Alumni: Panel Tells Students About Career Paths


Three HPJ alums returned to campus on April 8.  There goal was to share the stories of how they came to work in their current positions.  The panel included Stephanie Crandall (Political Science), Adam Schwiebert (Political Science), and Melissa Kuhn Wheeler (History and Political Science).  Each speaker discussed their background and the moves they made in their careers.  A special point of emphasis for all three was making connections that could lead to career opportunities.

Other information on this event can be found online.  To read expanded resumes for the speakers, see the ONU website.  To hear a recording of the session, click here.

The assembled majors learned that the path to success is not always a straight line, and it was particularly gratifying for faculty members who knew the speakers as students to see how high they have flown.

Well done Stephanie, Adam, and Melissa!
