One piece of career advice to recent Penn State graduates:
Choose a job that you enjoy doing every day, don’t worry about money it will come faster than you realize. You have a great degree and alumni network don’t be afraid to use it!
Why should alumni get involved with LEC-PSAA?
The Penn State community is unique and always has been and will be tight-knit. I don’t see alumni from other schools being as cool as We Are or doing good in the communities as much as we do while having fun doing it. It’s a great sense of pride.
Why should alumni meet you?
I can breakdown the Penn State pro style offense or lack there of. I’m always up for a sports debate. I can also give career advice. I’m generally a positive person.
