#BossedUp

Elizabeth Pozzuoli is a junior in the School of Communication with a major in Public Relations and minors in Marketing, Interactive Media, and Theatre Arts. Her internship experience has helped her get #BossedUp in her career!

In the summer of 2017, Elizabeth worked as a consumer marketing intern for Spirit Airlines on the public relations and branding team. In her role, she assisted management of marketing campaigns with musicians & Jimmy Kimmel Live, constructed a communications emergency response plan, and monitored and researched social media strategies during the launch of their profiles.

Last summer, Elizabeth interned in New York for M. Shanken Communications for Wine Spectator, Cigar Aficionado, and Whisky Advocate magazines. She shares, “I was fortunate enough to be able to do projects for all 3 magazines and even for their restaurant awards program. The projects ranged from social media content creation to video shoots and creating a YouTube strategy for the magazine's editorial staff. In addition, the handful of UM alums that worked at M. Shanken immediately made me feel at home.”

Some advice from Elizabeth: “Be patient and utilize LinkedIn to find alumni that work at the companies you would like to be hired by. UM alumni are incredibly helpful and are always willing to help a fellow 'Cane so don't be afraid to reach out to them."

The Danger of a
Single Story

Culturally, we are composed of many different intersecting stories that make up our backgrounds and identities. These stories can often be consolidated to just one, the single story, by society and our peers due to stereotyping. We must beware of these single stories, as most employers strive to embrace the mix of cultural backgrounds in the workplace.

In this Ted Talk, Chimamanda Ngozi explores the dangers of these single stories, allowing us to deepen both our own cultural understanding and that of those around us as well.

Miguel Ramirez

Assistant Director, Career Events

I naively entered college after having attended a dual-enrollment high school for two years. I felt that after having navigated community college, I was an expert at class scheduling, time management, and had the perfect work/life balance. As a college student I was a procrastinator, would crash study for exams and thought that having a job while going to school was counterproductive. There was a big focus on building a social life since I left all of my friends back home, and found myself obsessed with puzzles and games in my free time as a way of relaxing. If I could go back in time, I would have visited more colleges and factored my personal happiness into the equation instead of just looking for the fastest path to medical school. Now I am a working professional and graduate student and have found my sweet spot with this combination! I have a better understanding of how to manage my time and understand the financial implications of my decisions and the need to set professional and personal goals evenly.
