BizComm grad Nicolette Stoner, who currently works for the Philadelphia Eagles, is leaving that job to accept a position as the Foundation and Community Relations Coordinator for the Philadelphia Union, a Major League Soccer team. She writes, "I just wanted to thank you for teaching me all that I need to know about interviews, communication, and NETWORKING! Once again, networking has gotten me a job!
