My most meaningful Elon experience was the chance to intern with different engineering companies. It was incredible to learn more about how my education, both in and out of the classroom, can make such an impact on the world.

To get on air as a first-year student is not an opportunity you get at other universities, and I wasn’t willing to wait until my junior year. That is what makes Elon special. I could start right away. It’s not like this everywhere else.

From internships and research projects to study abroad, Elon offers a wealth of
opportunities for students to gain practical experience and apply what they learn in
the classroom to real-world situations. Elon has been instrumental in not only providing me with the inspiration to foster my career goals but has helped turn my lofty dreams into actionable steps.

I’m so lucky to have had countless professors at Elon who helped me grow as a
student and person. Whenever I see them, after taking their classes, they always ask about my life, interests and future plans. These relationships are one of the main reasons I chose Elon. I didn’t want to be a number on the roster. I wanted my professors to know me.

I feel confident that I will be able to deliver on group projects in my career and am looking forward to working on debt and equity reports that are even more data-driven and narrative-focused.

“The two things that helped me get a job quickly were studying abroad and extracurricular leadership activities. In all my interviews employers always pointed out all the leadership positions I held and my unique experience in the Dominican Republic.”

“Elon opened me up to thinking big when it came to the career I wanted. I started searching for internships that matched communication design, and other passions of mine, which included fashion. Ultimately, it was my internship at Gap Inc. that led to the full-time job.”

“Through my work at the Elon News Network, I connected with people. This year the former managing editor of Elon’s student newspaper, the Pendulum, reached out about a job opening at Newsweek. She thought of me because of the close professional relationship we formed while at Elon.”

“I chose Elon because of its small class sizes, the study abroad program and the overall feel of campus. I studied abroad twice, traveled to 10 countries as a result, and made lifelong friends. I know that Elon has prepared me for what’s to come.”

“Every step along the way, Dr. Miyamoto, my faculty mentor, prepared me for the future, providing insights into what life is like as a full-time researcher. She pushed me to work hard, while encouraging and supporting me through difficult times amplified by the pandemic.”

“Elon exceeded my expectations by allowing me to develop strong relationships with professors and fellow students, complete internships and participate in a semester-long study abroad program."

“I formed so many incredible relationships with alumni and others within the Elon network. They mentored me, provided invaluable advice, and, ultimately, offered opportunities that led to my employment.”
