efore I even graduate I have a job waiting for me at Standard & Poor’s and I owe it all to Seton Hall. Its reputation and connections have opened so many doors. I’ve had six internships; received mentorship from executives at Deloitte, Dow Jones and J.D. Power; gone on three study abroad programs to Spain, Greece and Portugal; conducted research with a faculty member; and worked in our market research center. The support and opportunities I received far exceeded my expectations.” Kristine Mamanta Marketing and Economics majors Humble, Texas www.shu.edu/go/leaders

couldn’t have gotten my Fulbright award, studied abroad in Russia and China, or had internships with the Clinton Foundation, the Mexican Consulate or at Cybertech Corp. in Taiwan without the support of Seton Hall’s faculty. The school is so well connected that they can really give you great opportunities.” David Kelly Diplomacy and International Relations and Modern Languages majors West Chester, Pennsylvania

I
have had so many opportunities at Seton Hall that I wouldn’t have had at a larger school, such as doing research with Dr. Ko freshman year, shadowing a cardiologist and being one of only two undergrads in the nation selected for a highly competitive research position at the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The support is amazing and everyone really cares about me and my success.”

t may be cliché to say, but it is all about location. Seton Hall’s proximity to New York City is one of the University’s best resources. I can hop on the train and be in NYC in just a few minutes. Our location, reputation and connections, as well as the support I received have given me so many opportunities. I have had two internships in New York City — ‘The Daily Show’ and ‘Piers Morgan Tonight’ on CNN. Now, a few weeks before I graduate, I have a job at CNN.” Paul Murphy Diplomacy and International Relations major Tallahassee, Florida www.shu.edu/go/leaders
Internship and Career Opportunities Seton Hall offers more than 17,000 internship opportunities, and more than 81 percent of our students have an internship — or two — on their resume before graduation.

I
n high school it was my dream to intern for the NY Mets and IMG. At Seton Hall, I was able to realize my dream and I have now interned at both of these prestigious organizations, along with two other internships at Bella Public Relations and Madison Square Garden. I wouldn’t have gotten these internships if it weren’t for Seton Hall’s Career Center. My career mentor was so supportive, helping me build my resume and hone my interview skills. She helped me stand out as a candidate and really cared about my success, so much so that she even called me right before my interview with IMG to make sure I was prepared and calm. I couldn’t have asked for more.” Anna Negron Sport Management major Vineland, New Jersey www.shu.edu/go/leaders
S
eton Hall’s career center paired me up with a corporate mentor, the executive vice president for integrated marketing at Viacom, which was a great experience and even led to an internship with Viacom. In addition, I had two other amazing internships in New York City: one at Burson-Marsteller, one of the largest international PR firms in the world, and the other at 5W Public Relations, one of the largest and most up and coming PR firms in Manhattan. I truly feel I wouldn’t have had even half of these experiences if I didn’t go to Seton Hall.”

eton Hall gave me the opportunity to learn hands-on.
As a journalist, you can only learn so much in the classroom; you really have to get out there and perform. I was able to start broadcasting on campus with WSOU and writing major stories for The Setonian, which were picked up by national news outlets like The Star-Ledger. These experiences, along with Seton Hall’s alumni network and my internship at NBC Nightly News prepared me for the real world. Now, I work as a graphics producer at MSNBC. I couldn’t have done it without the strong foundation I received at Seton Hall.” Brian Wisowaty Public Relations and Journalism major Graphics Producer, MSNBC www.shu.edu/go/leaders

got to do cutting-edge, graduate-level research right away at Seton Hall. I spent two years doing research with Dr. Chu on campus, had two prestigious research positions — one at Harvard Medical School and one at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School — and even contributed to a publication in the Journal of Dental Research. I wouldn’t have had exposure to all of these opportunities at a larger school.” Yansel Nunez Biology major, Pre-med Music minor Union City, New Jersey

eton Hall’s nursing program is unlike any other, taking learning from textbook to real-world clinical experiences at some of the top hospitals in the area. As a result of my clinical rotation at Somerset Medical Center, I was awarded a very competitive clinical externship, which provides me with a paid position now and a guaranteed job at the hospital when I graduate. I owe so much to the nursing program at Seton Hall because of its strong reputation, the caring and accomplished faculty and, most importantly, the small classes that provide much needed one-on-one attention that’s often lost at larger universities.” Jordan Mabalatan Nursing and Catholic Studies majors Bloomfield, New Jersey www.shu.edu/go/leaders
