DEAR 2023 GRADUATES,

As graduation quickly approaches, students may feel overwhelmed by a range of different emotions. Some are not ready to give up the college lifestyle and are intimidated by the idea of taking that next big step into the working world. Others have been counting down the days until they get to begin the next chapter of their life. Some know exactly what they are doing after college, while others have no idea. For some, not having a plan is causing a lot of anxiety, and others are looking forward to having the time to figure out what they want to do next. Some students are moving far away from their family, while others are going back home for the first time in a while.

Regardless of the emotions you are currently experiencing, graduation is a significant achievement. Whether you have a plan or not, take a little time to catch your breath and congratulate yourself on this accomplishment. College is not easy, and everyone has had those difficult days that cast doubt about whether graduating is really worth it. Although there may have been a lot of uncertainty and some tears along the way, you succeeded!

The people you met and the memories you made will be with you forever. Not only did you earn a degree, but the journey you have been on has made you who you are today. Maybe you discovered you are tougher than you think? Maybe you took a few risks that paid off? It’s OK if you feel you have more to learn about yourself. Despite what people say, graduation is not the end, but just another milestone in your life.

$tudents Prepare to Move for New Jobs

Story by Emma Dock | Illustrations by Nicole Johnson

Many students find jobs out of town or out of state once they graduate. Some students go into college already planning to find employment outside of Bowling Green because they have no intention of staying in the same place. But, do they know what they’re getting into?

With interviewing, apartment hunting and establishing roots in a new place, there are many things to consider. Anxieties of moving away can be hard to deal with. It can be difficult to feel prepared. However, some students feel prepared enough for their new chapter in life.

Charlotte Couvillion from Crestwood will be moving to Louisville to pursue a sales career after graduation.

“I always knew that I wanted to be in Bowling Green just for college. I knew it would be a stepping stone for my career in a bigger city,” Couvillion said.

Couvillion shared her process of finding her job and making the decision to move to Louisville.

“I currently have an internship, so I was deciding whether to stay in my current position when the job I’m taking just fell into my lap. The opportunity was amazing,”

Couvillion said. “The decision to move wasn’t difficult. My parents live near the area, and I used to go to high school around there.”

Couvillion said she loves the atmosphere of Louisville and can’t wait for her move.

Friends Madi Werner from Simpsonville and Hadley Pagel from Calvert City will be moving to Franklin, Tennessee, together after graduation.

Werner will be pursuing a career in corporate recruiting, while Pagel will become a financial planning associate with a goal of eventually becoming a certified financial planner.

Werner said that while she felt prepared academically, she doesn’t think she is prepared emotionally.

“I’m an only child, and I think moving away from my parents into the real world will be a big adjustment for me,” Werner said.

Werner said she found her position on a job website called Glassdoor.

“I applied for anything that suited me and eventually got an email from an employer,” Werner said. “I went to Nashville to interview in person which was very overwhelming, but I had a lot of support from the people I care about.”

Werner said after that interview she had a second phone interview, and, at the end, the employer told her she was hired.

Pagel gave some insight into the process of finding her job.

“The process was somewhat stressful just because of the unknown, but I really did feel prepared for the interview process,” Pagel said.

Pagel said the WKU Department of Finance had encouraged her to step out of her comfort zone, which helped her build her confidence in her networking abilities.

Pagel said that she has some anxieties about moving away.

“Of course, I have some anxiety. I’m starting my real life after all, but I don’t doubt my decision at all. I have loved my time at Western, and it will be hard to leave, but, at the same time, I am so excited about this new phase of my life,” Pagel said. “I deal with my anxiety by reminding myself that I am completely capable of this and thinking about how excited I am.”

While moving away can be a stressful thing, it’s good to make a plan and be prepared. So when the day comes, it isn’t that stressful after all.

Navigating the Post-Grad Job Market

Story by Chloe Sharp | Illustrations by Lexi Ocampo

Entering the post-grad workforce can be a daunting and scary prospect for many students. However, it is important to remember that navigating the post-grad workforce doesn’t have to be scary. With the right mindset and preparation, it can be an exciting opportunity to explore new possibilities and learn new skills.

Adrianne Browning, a professional development specialist and career coach at WKU, said that students’ most significant concern when they meet with her is that they struggle to secure an internship or job opportunity. Browning said a student’s resume is usually the cause of their struggle.

“The resume gets you the interview, and if you’re not getting the interview, it’s because of the resume,” Browning said. “The resume is your face and is the marketing tool that allows employers to get to know you.”

There are some guidelines to follow when making a resume that stands out to employers, said Sarah Jones, a retention marketing specialist at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City and a 2020 graduate of WKU. Jones recommends adding color to a resume.

“I don’t think a piece of black and white paper with Times New Roman scribed across it showed what I could bring to a position,” Jones said. “I also encourage you to add the short link for your LinkedIn profile into the contact section on your resume, this lets the employer gain easy access and encourages them to learn even more about you.”

Browning said that while including

personal details and images on a resume can showcase one’s personality, it’s crucial to avoid overdoing it.

Bryce Stewart, a 2021 WKU alumnus and a career coach at the WKU Career Development

Center, stressed the importance of networking.

“All of my professors emphasized the importance of starting to make connections in the field that you want to go into and actually have a relationship with that person,” Stewart said.

To put it simply, the more people you build connections with in the field you are interested, in the higher chance you have of securing an internship or job after graduation, Stewart said.

Browning said internships and other experiences are essential to establish credibility with potential employers.

“My motto is ‘no internship, no job’. A lot of companies are now requiring previous internship experience for their positions,” Browning said.

Stewart said that internships have more benefits beyond developing skills.

For graduates who do not have previous internship experience, Stewart recommends including the various skills that they possess on their resumes.

“If you show that you have career readiness competencies and specific skills that apply

directly to the position, employers will take notice,” Stewart said.

Similar to the specialists, Jones said she includes those specific skills and previous internships and experiences on LinkedIn to broaden the number of potential employers she could reach.

“For LinkedIn, I would recommend staying active by sharing posts that you support and believe in. Make sure to be following accounts that align with your ideals and beliefs so that if agencies go to your profile they can quickly see a highlight of who you are,” Jones said.

Browning said establishing an online presence is important in today’s job market.

“LinkedIn is very beneficial. It’s a professional networking site, so don’t be afraid to connect with people on there,” Browning said.

The biggest tool that new graduates can use to help jumpstart navigating the job market is WKU, Browning said.

All alumni are able to utilize the same resources that WKU students are offered to help them during this next step toward their future, whether its financial counseling or career coaching.

“WKU is still here to help you in all capacities, you are not alone in this process,” Browning said.

Some offices open to alumni are The Advising and Career Development Center, The Center for Financial Success and The Alumni Center. All alumni can make

appointments with these offices through their emails, which can be found on the WKU website.

Don’t be scared to take this next step toward the future. Be proud of this accomplishment and know that WKU is always here to lend a helping hand.

“The resume is your face and is the marketing tool that allows employers to get to know you.”

A Merger of Two Units

Exciting changes and new student opportunities are coming to Jody Richards Hall later this year. As PCAL Dean Terrance Brown announced earlier this year, “The School of Media and Department of Communication are merging to form the School of Media & Communication in fall 2023.”

The new School of Media & Communication will be located in Jody Richards Hall, and renovations will begin over the summer of 2023 to provide room for both units to come together as one.

This merger will allow students to take communication courses and media courses in the same building. It also opens up new opportunities for students of both units.

Ron DeMarse, director of the School of Media, is excited about this merger and the new opportunities it will bring to students.

“It’s great to get advertising and public

relations back in the school, as they were here for many years in the past. We’re also eager to work with new colleagues from Comm and find ways for all eight of our major programs to collaborate,” DeMarse said.

Brown stated that conversations about what renovations will occur are still ongoing.

“The objective is to maintain existing instructional space while adding faculty/staff offices to allow all individuals in the new unit to reside under one roof,” he said.

Brown said he believes the merger of these units is a fantastic opportunity for both parties.

“I think this is an opportunity to combine two units who display high levels of academic excellence to build more interdisciplinary instructional, research and creative scholarship opportunities for both faculty and students. In addition, we hope to create new pathways for staff development,”

Brown said.

Majors offered by the School of Media & Communication include: Broadcasting, Photojournalism, Journalism, Advertising, Public Relations, Communication Studies, Corporate and Organizational Communication as well as a BA and BFA in Film.

Existing certificates in Digital Advertising, Strategic Communications and Workplace Communication are also offered and more may be coming soon.

Graduate programs include an M.A. in Organizational Communication and certificates in Communicating in Organizations and Communicating in Healthcare.

An exciting new adventure is being created for students in these two units as changes begin happening at Jody Richards Hall.

Jody Richards Hall currently houses the Broadcasting, Film, Journalism and Photojournalism programs in the School of Media. Following the 2023 merger, it will be renovated to accommodate the addition of the Department of Communication.

Are Gap Years Beneficial?

Story by Emma Dock | Illustrations by Abby Neltner

College can be a long and challenging period in a student’s life. Four difficult years, sometimes more, of essays, presentations, finals, midterms and everything in between. Sometimes students just need a well-deserved break. This could be after graduation or just a break between semesters. A gap period can be done whenever anyone wants and can last for however long they want it to.

This could be the time to travel, be with family, work in community serviceor just relax. However, will this gap year hinder a student’s work ethic? How does a break from school affect a student afterward?

Travel could be involved such as ‘Saving the Turtles in Costa Rica’ or ‘Working with Elephants in Namibia’ but I’m sure there are many other opportunities right here in the USA. It could be associated with a church, nonprofit corporation, local charities, etc.,” Ahern said. “I think the best gap years involve giving back and getting out of the ‘me, me, me’ mentality. Basically, see how others in the world/USA live differently than you, which will ultimately give you a better perspective on your personal blessings.”

Ahern also said, that a gap period can help students figure out what they want to do with their future.

“I think that cold be a good purpose for a gap year. One’s major doesn’t define a career path, so earning a college degree is a good baseline. You could use the year to ‘try out’ different paths, or it could be a 100% discovery process,” Ahern said.

Wayne Simpson, the associate director of career development at WKU, said a gap year can affect a student’s work ethic.

“Transitions back to school from a year off can be difficult. Thus, finding an interest you are passionate about is key when going back to school,” Simpson said. “A person may find it more difficult to find momentum or motivation to do assignments; however, with the experience accumulated over time, it may not be as hard of a transition as one may think.”

Simpson said that graduates know the hard work of going to school and the hard work of being an adult. It can be challenging to find a balance. However, taking time for a student to get to know themself and what they want to do is a way to find a balance between both.

Financial aid may also be a problem when it comes to gap periods. Students may decide to head back to school after their break.

“Before deciding to take a gap year, look at the requirements of financial aid for your particular area and school. Most federal financial aid can be funded for up to six or nine months, or until an individual starts to take classes,” Simpson said. “Additionally, make sure to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the school year in which you want to attend.”

Gap periods can be very helpful for students and graduates alike. Sometimes a long break is all someone needs before they hit the ground running in the workforce or go back to school. So if a student or graduate is thinking of taking a gap period, they need to make a plan for it and try to make it memorable.

“I think it ultimately depends on the career field that a student is set up for, meaning that in some instances, if a job placement is available right after college, accounting, for example, or if a student is on a longer graduate school track, such as medical school, etc, it may be good to jump straight to the next step,” James McKnight, an academic adviser said.

McKnight said that otherwise, it would be a great benefit for a student to take a break and think about who they are and where they want to go.

Brian Ahern, a career coach at WKU offered a few suggestions for students.

“There are so many to choose from.

Local Bank Helps Make Twisted Sisters Nutrition Possible

“We wouldn’t have been able to do any of this if it wasn’t for Franklin Bank helping us. They got it taken care of in a couple days, which was a lot easier than we anticipated it to be,” Fox said.

Twisted Sisters opened in November 2022, and Walton said that it was made possible through the help of their employee, Kenadi Sexton, and the outpour of love from the community.

“I go in and ask them what they feel like suggesting that day and get whatever they tell me,” Marklin said. “It has been nice to get to know them better!”

Walton also said that in support of their community, they offer military and teacher discounts and have instituted a loyalty punch card system.

“The community has been awesome in supporting us, and we’re excited to see what the summertime brings,” Walton said.

Marklin said it’s always a scary venture to open a new business, but he wishes nothing but the best for the Twisted Sisters.

“I decided to take a chance on them, and I’m proud of them for what they’ve done,” Marklin said.

Franklin Bank and Trust has provided loans for many small businesses in the region to help build relationships with the community. One of these small businesses made possible by Franklin Bank is Twisted Sisters Nutrition.

Owned by two sisters, Robyn Walton and Riley Fox, Twisted Sisters Nutrition sells protein shakes and loaded energy teas, and Walton said they are hoping to expand their menu to include protein and acai bowls.

“Our name actually comes from our grandparents who would call us twisted sisters when we were kids,” Walton said.

Walton said she would go into the previous owner’s store every day, sometimes twice a day, to order tea. The old owner had mentioned to her that she was looking to sell, and Walton said she called her sister who was living in Wyoming from 2018 to 2022.

“With my culinary background, I was running a cookie store out west in four different locations, and I wasn’t appreciated for everything I was doing,” Fox said. “I knew I wanted my own business eventually, and I was scrolling through Indeed trying to find jobs when my sister called me.”

Walton said when they made the decision to purchase the store, they called Wes Marklin, a loan officer at Franklin Bank who was supportive from the jump.

“We couldn’t have asked for the process to be easier. Wes said to send over the financials, file the LLC paperwork and then handed us a check,” Walton said.

Walton also said that because she is a member of Franklin Bank, she is on a firstname basis with the staff, and that helped ease the process of going through the business proposal.

“I knew Robyn because we’re both involved with agriculture in that part of the community,” Marklin said. “Riley had just moved back from Wyoming when I had met her.”

Marklin said that Franklin Bank pushes for more local businesses in downtown Franklin, and the sisters had all the financials and the paperwork he needed to move forward.

Marklin also said the hardest part of giving a loan to a new business is the lack of financial records, but because the Twisted Sisters bought from a previous owner and shared those records, the process went smoothly.

Twisted Sisters aims to combine quality ingredients and good taste in protein shakes and loaded energy teas. “The protein shakes have anywhere between 24 to 48 grams of protein,” Walton said. “Our teas are completely sugar free, have 20 calories and have natural energy, similar to the caffeine you would get in a coke.”

Robyn Walton (left) and Riley Fox own and operate Twisted Sisters Nutrition in Franklin. The sisters opened their store in November, and Fox said they have plans for further expansion.

EmpowerMe Wellness Offers Rewarding Career Opportunities

EmpowerMe Wellness works with seniors in assisted living, independent living and memory care, and is looking to hire physical therapists and speech language pathologists post-graduation.

“I worked 13 years in a skilled nursing facility, and there was a position open with EmpowerMe in assisted living and memory care settings/independent care settings,” said Miranda Hunt, a speech-language pathologist who works with seniors on communication, language, dysphagia, voice and cognitive linguistic functioning. “It was a change of pace and a change of community.”

Hunt said EmpowerMe prioritizes flexibility more than other companies she has worked for.

“EmpowerMe is more customer-based,” Douglas Skinner, a physical therapist, said. “You have freedom to see people in their home and create personalized goals.”

As a physical therapist, Skinner works with ambulation, transfers, balance, safety awareness and strength.

“We work to restore physical function that has been lost, or to improve physical function that has become more difficult,” Skinner said.

Hunt said the goal at EmpowerMe is to keep patients in their current level of care, such as assisted living, so they don’t have to move up to a higher level, like skilled nursing care.

EmpowerMe focuses on the number of visits conducted per day, as opposed to the number of minutes spent performing treatment, which makes for a far less stressful working day compared to other therapy companies, Skinner said.

“As a therapist, you have a lot of freedom in this setting,” Hunt said. “There aren’t people hounding me about what I do — they really respect my clinical judgment and what I do with my patients.”

EmpowerMe leaders tout the company’s values, which are servant leadership, relentless drive, alignment, audacity and bravery, fierce intellectual curiosity, longterm focus and having fun.

“We’re a one-stop-shop, including onsite collections for lab testing and a new inhouse pharmacy,” Skinner said. “We have some departments at the corporate level that we consult with, but at the end of the day, we have a lot of autonomy.”

Hunt said there are many opportunities for

advancement and even more opportunities for growth within EmpowerMe.

“I didn’t know what I was missing until I came to work in this setting, and I can’t see myself ever going back now,” Skinner said.
