Speaking of jobs....an alum helps out

Greetings,

I got an email this morning from one of the Park School's most successful and accomplished alum, Bob Kur (take a look at THIS professional bio). Bob is one of the school's most supportive and active alumni, and he sent along the following list of job opportunities at his company (thanks, Bob!)

Whether you're interested in new media, public relations, marketing, sales, news, radio -- and whether you want to live in the West, the East, the South or the Midwest -- there's a job on this list for you.

Don't you just love it when our alumni think about you guys and remember what it was like to be three months before graduation and thinking about your first job? I do.
