Connor Keirce
is a freshman, marketing major from Ashburn, Virginia. Though he does not
currently have a minor, he plans to add one within the next year or two.
Connor
attended this spring’s Career, Internship & Service Fair. He took the career fair survey after the event and was randomly selected as the$1000 scholarship winner for Fall 2012.
“My experience at the Career Fair was great, I met a lot of
great representatives and learned about some internship opportunities. I had no
idea that JMU had a relationship with so many diverse groups of potential
employers. I specifically connected with Camp Horizons, which is about 10 miles
north of here. I am now an employee of theirs, working as an Outdoor
Facilitator leading groups in outdoor adventure and team-building exercises. I
had a great time, and I'm extremely glad I attended the fair. Everyone involved
was strikingly professional, courteous, and friendly,” Connor said.
In the future he hopes to work in a marketing-related field
and he hopes to travel.
On campus, Connor is involved as a properties master and set
constructor for JMU Theater. He is also part of JMU Grotto, JMU’s caving club,
Boarderline, a snowboarding club, and Madison International Learning Community.
