“Christendom students are uniquely suited to a position in upper management due to their communication and critical thinking skills,” says career and leadership development director Greg Monroe. “In particular, non-profits provide a unique challenge and opportunity to work for an organization where creative funding ideas are often sought. Christendom students can often thrive in this environment.”
Current students, faculty, staff, and alumni of the college will also have the opportunity after the talks to ask questions and seek career advice from the speakers, especially on topics pertaining to prospective careers in non-profit administration.
