JMU alumni speak about skills they learned in the workforce

The College of Arts and Letters hosted JMU alumni to speak about the skills and ideas they learned in the workforce and not in the classroom at their virtual career fair last month. 
The event was moderated by Eric Fife, professor and director of the School of Communication Studies, and was driven by both preset questions and questions from attendees. Alumni were asked about work after college and the experiences JMU never gave them.
Katie Bowles (’11) started off the discussion by giving her post-graduation story. 
“When I was in school, I had no idea what my thing was,” Bowles said. “However, I learned I could do a lot with my English degree; I could write all the time.”
