Alumni Panel Article
“Don’t
get hung up on your degree, get hung up on your learning,” said Jay Marciano
‘84while addressing an audience of English majors during a lecture last night,
Feb 9, in the salon of La Maison at 6:30pm.
Marciano
was amongst a group of three other Assumption alumni, Megan Kellett ‘09,
Michael Andrews ‘09, and Jeff Lavery ‘05 whom returned to campus to discuss
both their work experience and career paths.
Assumption
College Director of Career Services, Bethany Rossi, opened up the discussion
from the various alumni by saying, “We clearly have some various and different
career paths amongst us tonight.”
Throughout
the lecture, the topic came up of resume builders and taking on leadership
rolls on campus. Throughout Kellett, Andrews, Lavery, and Marciano’s four years
here at Assumption, they all participated in writing for La Provoc. Kellett
gave advice to the students by saying, “one of the more important things is to
get involved in leadership roles on campus. Even if you do something small, put
it on your resume.”
Hearing
the alumni talk about the successful lives they have led since graduation, gave
the students whom attended an insight into helping them realize that the majors
they have chosen and the degrees in which they will leave here with was the
right decision. Lavery closed out the lecture by saying “one of the worst
things you can do is to force yourself to do something that you do not want to
do.”
