The
best advice I have for
the class of 2012 comes from
a quote in a commencement card
i received in 2009: “When you leave,
don’t forget why you came here.” You
came to learn and grow. So, take pride
in your Elon education, maximize the
experiences you’ve had, the skills
you’ve acquired, set a goal
and make it pop.

Set
aside a certain
amount of money from each
paycheck. You’re going be
tempted to spend it, but you’ll
need the stashed cash
later. Trust me.
As won
derful as your Elon experi
ence was, and as bittersweet as it is to
leave, just remember that life is truly just be
ginning. There are incredible moments ahead that
will be as amazing as the moments you have from
college. Just remember what Elon faculty, staff, ad
ministrators and friends taught you along the way. And
always remember that Elon is your home away from
home. It will be a part of your identify for the rest of
your life. Come back to campus, stay involved,
and give back to the university that has
given so very much to you.

No
matter where you
end up after graduation,
keep an open mind! Do what
you’re passionate about,
network with everyone
you can and never
settle.

Take
any internship you’re
offered. Whether it’s a good
or bad experience, it will give
you a good idea of what
you want to do next.
Your
first job does not
define you. You define
your job.
Carry
Elon with you. The people,
the passion, the experiences will sur
round you in your transition. You may be
leaving Elon but you’re an alum
forever.

No
matter how tough the
job market may seem, don’t
be discouraged. The skills you’ve
learned at Elon
will pull you through!
