My name is Janell and I am working in working in the Office of Career Development. We are putting together a guide to help senior students transition to the work world after college. Students really value hearing about the experiences of Albion alumni, and we believe your expertise would help many students with this important life transition.

I write to ask if you would be willing to contribute by writing an article for our guide. According to our records, we see are are currently on a 10 month pilgrimage around the U.S. We would really like to include an article about your gap year experience and advice to other students thinking about travel/service after graduation. I hope you will be able to help.

Most of the articles for last year’s edition were about 500-800 words, but we can accommodate almost any length. You can write the entire article in text, or include bullets for “tips for success.” You select the format that works for you. We would love to have your article by January 31 at the latest so we can have time to edit and layout the publication.

Please let me know if you would be interested in giving some of your time to help students at your alma mater. You can respond to this email or call (517) 629-0332. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or my supervisor, Kelsey Ebben, Associate Director for Career Development, at the number above.

Thank you for your consideration,

Janell
