Life after Mount Union
The Community Connection Manager oversees the volunteer experience for 6,000 people annually from scheduling and registration to on-site experiences. They also form meaningful and strategic relationships with corporate, civic, and faith-based organizations in the community for both donor and volunteer support. From the vantage point of being in the working world, I now see how many doors of opportunity Mount Union opened that were uniquely designed to support me. I was the event planner for an Honors recruiting event, redesigned the Preview and Orientation structures, studied literature and business, revitalized the Presidential Scholar program, and did a lot more that was only made possible because faculty and staff took my ideas seriously and said, "So, what's your plan?" The opportunities I took advantage of at Mount Union prepared me for the current career I hold.
Staying Connected to Mount
I live relatively close to Mount Union, so a Sunday stroll through campus with a Groovy Beans coffee in hand helps me stay connected! I'm also really antsy to try out the pickleball courts that the class officers and I fundraised for. Since I'm a new graduate, I'm looking forward to joining the alumni network in the future by hopefully returning for the Honors Alumni Panel. Mount Union football games will also bring me back!
