News from Our Graduates

Just wanted to send a “Hello” from Virginia; hope all is well and everyone is doing well in the Business Department. I wanted to thank you for all that you have done for me and giving me guidance while I attended Daemen. I absolutely love working in the Human Resource department at Maruchan (maruchan.com); every day is a different day but with a consistent repetitive daily routine. I love having a job where I wake up excited to go to work.  I wish I could let everyone know how important it is to join clubs/organizations on campus and attend the workshops given by L.E.A.P. My boss mentioned how impressive my resume was. This was all from the help of attending the resume workshop which helped me to tweak a few things here and there. Thank you again for all your help.

Bianca Rodriguez (Class of 2010)

This is Erin Delaney (Class of 2006), one of your former business students at Daemen.  You were my professor for all of the Human Resources courses that I took as well as my adviser.  I contacted you about a year ago to write a recommendation for my application to law school.

I have meant to write for some time now, but I never imagined just how much work I was getting myself into.  I ended up deciding to go to UB Law and am now in my second year of law school.  I am so happy with my decision to go back to school and want to thank you again for helping me achieve that.  I traveled to Europe this past summer to do a study abroad through another law school and then worked for the City of Buffalo Law Department for the other half of the summer.  I am now conditionally interning at Customs and Border Protection, but am awaiting a background check.
