Alumni Connections Lead to Job Offer
Students continue to succeed in making connections at our speed-networking events and through SU Bridge. Kirk Eckenrode , a senior, connected with Ryan Franks ’02 at the Pittsburgh event. Ryan made a call to a colleague in
Williamsport and Kirk got an interview with that company. Similarly, Fran Brzyski , also a senior, connected with Jameson Troutman ’02 through
SU Bridge. Fran has been offered a position with
JPMorgan Chase & Co. and says, “It’s all thanks to
SU Bridge,” and a little help from Jameson. Thanks to all of our alumni who continue to support
Susquehanna students! To see a short video clip from this event, click here .
