In a few short months, 1,500 University of Denver seniors will be

entering a new life chapter. Post-college is a special time for opportunity

and self-discovery. Here are two seniors, Sid Warwinske and Molly

Rogow. Sid Warwinske has future plans to work in real estate and has

shared that his DU teachers, friends and experiences have prepared him

for a successful future.

DU has large efforts in

setting up graduates for

success. From freshman

year forward, DU requires

advisory hours and has one

and one support for each

student.

DU’s facilities and buildings make

studying and being a student at DU

a fun and enjoyable environment. A

favorite study spot for students

includes the newly renovated

Anderson Academic Commons,

which has 32 group study rooms,

39,500 linear feet of library

collections online, a café and more.

marketing major, utilizing

one of the 135 computers

accessible and free to

students inside Anderson

Academic Commons.

The Career Center is the best

resource for students and their

job searches. “John Haag in the

Career Center helped me land

my most recent internship, he’s

been instrumental in creating the

perfect resume, fine tuning my

interview skills and being a great

support system,” says

international business major,

Morgan Thomas.

As graduation approaches, seniors are working hard on their

job searches. Most DU students are on a serious job hunt the

duration of their senior year. “Most of my friends are either

planning on higher education or have been actively looking for

jobs all of senior year,” says Sid Warwinske, senior marketing

major.

Daniels College of Business is

ranked one of the best

business schools in the world

and is a very competitive

college at the University of

Denver. Finance is the most

common major at DU and

other popular Daniels majors

include marketing, accounting,

and international business.

Seniors Sam David and

Morgan Thomas are

graduating from the Daniels

College of Business this

spring. Both have reported

their DU experience has been

a positive one with helpful

teachers and classmates throughout Daniels.

The University of Denver makes saying goodbye difficult. After four

years of being surrounded by friends, hockey games, Greek events,

and constant classes, this all comes to a halt.

Although the “DU bubble” seems hard to move past, graduates are

moving forward. Maddison Tischler graduated DU with a communications

degree in 2014. Now, she is fully employed with Communication

Infrastructure Group and has taken her skills at DU into her career. Here

she is volunteering at “Safe Kids Day” in Boulder, Colorado.

Graduating from DU has its

perks. “I think DU students

are at an advantage for

finding jobs. Especially

compared to other schools in

Colorado. A lot of businesses

in Denver recognize DU as

an elite and prestigious

school,” says career

counselor Jeremiah Rex.

Whether it’s landing a

dream job in Denver,

moving on to higher

education or packing up

to work in a new city, DU

seniors are eager and

prepared for the future

ahead.
