Alumni Testimonials

Behavior Technician

Sumah Confer ’20

Psychology major Sumah Confer ’20 is a paraprofessional at Chesapeake Bay Academy in Virginia. She was the lead researcher on a published article that analyzes anti-vaccination practices and offers strategies to encourage vaccination among vaccine-hesitant groups. The faculty-supported project was published in the journal “Behavior and Social Issues” by the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI).

Communication

Lauren (Zenzie) Rovella ’15

After stints as a lifestyle host, news reporter and anchor at TV station NBC-22 in Springfield, MA, and TV station Fox 61 in Hartford, CT, Lauren is now a digital producer for Avelo Airlines. “My communication classes allowed me to hone my broadcasting skills, putting me in perfect position to advance my career after graduation.”

CEO

Brian Magna ’83

“At first, I wanted to be a dentist, but along the way, Coach Clyde Washburn opened my eyes to athletic training, physical therapy and the spirit of teamwork. Today, I own my own sports medicine business. Students need to take advantage of all that Eastern has to offer to make the most of their education in preparation for future careers.”

Management Analyst

Ian Peters ’16

Economics major Ian Peters is a management analyst for the Delaware Department of Natural Resources. “The faculty at Eastern care so much about their students. If you’re struggling, they work with you outside of class. If you’re looking for more advanced material, you can take on an independent study project. Faculty at larger research universities are too invested in their own work to take that sort of time for students.”

This is a test.
