Brandi Dominique didn’t expect a brief introduction to lead to employment straight
out of college. But one paid internship, a business trip to Mexico and a job offer
before graduation, the 2014 Bluffton alumna is proof that even the smallest networking
opportunities can lead to a promising career.
Bethany Behnfeldt’s summer internship not only allowed her to explore the field she
loved, but it also let her live closer to her boyfriend. After graduating from Bluffton,
she continued both relationships, with the parks and recreation department in Green,
Ohio, as well as with her now-husband, Zack Lerch.
Realizing that a life in laboratories likely wasn’t going to match his longer-term
career goals and desire to engage with people, Ryan Fisher switched majors from chemistry
to business administration at Bluffton. Now, his career is based around interacting
with others.
Karah Weldy lives the corporate life, but her focus isn’t on deadlines and profit
margins. Instead, her day job is to promote a healthy lifestyle for employees of a
large corporation.
Just 12 weeks shy of obtaining his bachelor’s degree as an intervention specialist,
Jacob Stabler fell in love with the social work electives he was taking and chose
to change his vocational path. His decision required him to return to Bluffton for
a fifth year that would include an internship that blossomed into a full-time job.
