A mass communications senior has already found a job… working at his own university.
Evan Juedeman, mass communications senior, recently applied for and was hired as a communications specialist with enrollment operations on campus. He said he plans to stay in the position after he graduates.
“It’s basically for obtaining the interest of prospective students to the university,” Juedeman said. “I’m kind of a liaison between admissions and enrollment operations.”
Juedeman was hired as a part-time employee and works for the university as he finishes up his senior year.
“As a senior in my spring semester, I have seven credit hours, just to wrap up my capstone and a science class,” Juedeman said.
The position was posted in December, Juedeman said.
“I applied, interviewed and found out just before Christmas break,” he said.
Juedeman started out as a mass communications minor, but eventually switched to a mass communications major with a minor in business entrepreneurship.
“When I started here, I was a business administration major, but then I fell in love with the world of mass communications,” he said.
Juedeman said he appreciates his time on campus.
“All of the mass comm professors have made an impact on me,” Juedeman said. “Matt Hamilton has always been great with helping me out with my schedule and helping me out with my degree.”
Students should work hard and pay attention, Juedeman said.
“Get your gen eds out of the way as soon as possible,” he said. “Sit down, listen and do the work.”
Juedeman has a boundless energy and creative spirit, said Dr. Matt Hamilton, mass communications department chairman.
“Evan is a young professional who truly understands the value of public relations and building partnerships in the business world,” Hamilton said. “He is respected by his peers as a friendly, helpful team member. I always enjoy having Evan in my courses.”
Juedeman has been making an impression since he was a freshman, said Kevin Windholz, vice president for enrollment management and university communications.
“As a student, he worked in all areas of my division as a student employee, serving as a student worker in Student Financial Services, a Gold Star Ambassador in admissions and a marketing intern in University Communications,” Windholz said.
“In each role, he was a leader and showed a strong commitment to our university. It is those types of students we celebrate bringing on as staff members in our division after graduation.”
