hey, want my job?!
No, seriously. Not only do I get to write to you all each week, but I also travel the country meeting hundreds of fascinating College alumni. And I’m not gonna lie: It’s pretty fun. Lucky for you, we’re looking for my replacement. If you have an interest in relationship-building, data, and writing—not to mention working for the best school in the universe, obviously—then learn more and apply here! Any questions? Just reply to this e-mail to ask me what it’s like to, ya know, be me.
