Career Opportunities

“Being a Public Relations major at Loras has greatly impacted my life both personally and professionally. As an intern at CBS Sports Network this past summer, my Loras education allowed me to make a positive impression with the company, so much so that I have been asked to return this upcoming summer. The benefits from the classroom are comparable to the benefits I learned about life after college. Whether it be practical, such as help for my resume, or less tangible such as communicating in the business world, I have had experiences at Loras that will positively influence my life for years to come.”

“Majoring in Public Relations at Loras has driven me to places I never thought I could reach. From leadership roles on campus to full-time internships over the summer – Loras PR is the real deal. This past summer I was able to attain a Public Affairs internship with DuPont Pioneer, one of the largest biotech companies in the United States. Without the experiences I had both in the classroom and on campus, along with the help of my professors, I would have never had outstanding success in my young career.”
