Inspire, Summer 2000

Career Net Wants You! Career Net is all about interacting with parents and alumni on behalf of our students. We make a point to not only contact, but to visit our alumni and parents whenever possible. We've "Been There and Done That." In the past year we have met with alumni in the Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, Columbus, and Chicago areas. From those visits we have developed several programs, not the least of which is our JOSHUA Program. Just as Moses handpicked his replacement, Joshua, so we are striving to develop Lew Gibbs took KEA (Cedarville's student business organization)to Washington to meet with alumni. This allowed the students to make invaluable contacts with those in thejob market. Advance The Kingdom -Call in job opportunities: full-time, part-time, internships. -Influence your company to attend "Career Link" days. -Encourage internships with your company. -Act as a "Career Link" to your region for students. a program where Christians can handpick those students who will be the leaders that directly impact our nation. For instance, we visited with Darrin Gasser '97 on a recent trip to Washington D.C. He and Heather Smith '98 are presently working with Jeff Reep '79, our new assistant director for internships, to get our students involved in government summer internships. We are working with them and many others in the Washington area to have a significant impact next year with internships and full-time employment. Parents are also helping us to establish a presence in the D.C. area. Lori Smith '94 and Rich Shipe (husband of Christy Farris Shipe '98) hosted us recently at crosswalk.com."Been There, Done That." Earlier this year, during our trip to Atlanta, we met with Kelly Linak '97 who is working for INJOY (John Maxwell's organization); a parent, Joe Potts, who is the development vice president for Larry Burkett's Christian Financial Concepts; and Tara Wagenaar '95, a teacher with significant international travel experience. They have given us contacts and inroads into major corporations in the Atlanta area where we have interaction with several nonprofits as well as industrial leadership in the automotive, finance, and fast-food areas. Often these alumni have direct contacts with CEO's and VP's of these organizations where we can develop relationships that will have long-lasting implications for our students."Been There, Done That." In Indianapolis, we visited with Jack Halsey, a parent, to help gain inroads into major engineering organizations such as RollsRoyce/Allison Engine to help our students get internships. Chris Nolt '99 is now working full-time for RollsRoyce/Allison Engine."Been There, Done That." We'd like to "Be There and Do That" with you. We recognize alumni as being our most significant aid in the career efforts on behalf of our students.
