WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.- Two Purdue alumni will be giving advice on how to find jobs here in Tippecanoe county at a Beering panel on Nov. 20.
Trevor Peters will be one of the two alumni, he is an anchor and news reporter for WXIX-TV of Cincinnati, formerly of WLFI-TV. He was a 2016 BLSC graduate.
The other alumni sitting on the panel will be Ashley Scott. Scott graduated in 2010 and is now the president of AGS Consulting in Indianapolis. She is the former operations manager at MatchBox Co-Working studio in Lafayette.
“One of the most valuable things we can do as a school is provide our students with access to our esteemed alumni who have so much knowledge to share,” said Marifran Mattson, head of the BLSC.
The topic of this panel is how to find jobs post graduation if you are wanting to stay in the Lafayette/ Indianapolis area. The panel will be Q and A between the students and alumni.
“I was amazed that I didn’t have to go to a larger city to find an interesting job,” said Scott. “I think a lot of students just don’t know what is available here or how to find it.”
The panel is at 3 p.m. on Nov. 20 in Beering 1284. The panel is open to all students, even outside of BLSC.
