“MU shaped my career completely. The relationships I made at MU continue to help me develop personally and professionally. For example, my professors served as my references for my first job after graduation, my internship the summer of my junior year led to my first job out of college, and my participation as an alum led to my first job on Capitol Hill.”\u00a0Jocelyn Garay, class of 2012<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
