From Student to
Employee
Networking, applications, interviews—re-
member how intimidating it can be? Be-
fore our students step into the professional
world, they must be prepared to successfully
navigate these crucial steps that lead to em-
ployment or even internships. Many of our
graduates can attest to the important role
of the Office of Career Services in helping
with these skills and offering opportunities
to connect with employers.
Did you know that alumni also have access
to these services?

“Through my relationship with clubs like ENACTUS and our partnership with the
Career Center, I have been able to connect with Stevenson students and hire them into
our company. At Enterprise, we believe in giving back to the organizations that support
us, and one way we can do that is with the scholarship grant.”
– Elizabeth Hardesty, Enterprise Holdings
Stevenson has built strong relationships with a variety of local businesses: vendors who have provided
crucial services over many years, companies that offer student internships and employ our graduates,
and others who recognize the benefits of collaboration. Many of these businesses have taken the next
step and become members of Stevenson Partners, providing vital tuition support to our students.
Nearly 30 corporate members contributed $85,000 in scholarship awards for the 2017-2018 academic
year. This generosity in turn benefits those companies because Stevenson Partner members employ
more than 200 SU graduates, helping students to succeed who may one day be part of their team.
