Welcome, Media Fellows!
You are about to take the first important steps toward clinching your top-pick internship or landing your first job!
This website for Fall 2026 is the home for LCP1000 Learning Communities Practicum and COM1050 Media Fellows Colloquium. All of you are first-year students, and this course is designed to get you off to a strong start to make the most of your time at HPU. See this link first: Start Strong
By the end of the semester, you will have many important building blocks in place:
- three versions of a polished resume (standard-form one page, "creative" version and online presentation)
- an updated LinkedIn page that reflects best practices in both form and content
- a HandShake page to connect you to prospective employers looking for college students
- personal assessments using Clifton Strengths and Pathway U to help you put your best foot forward on the right career path
- confidence in choosing the right wardrobe for business settings, along with a professional-style headshot
- confidence in professional etiquette and how to prepare for that killer interview, preceded by a persuasive cover letter and followed by the perfect thank-you note
- and — truly setting you apart — a distinctive online presence in the form of a high-quality personal website that will live on long after this course!
Along the way, you'll meet professional development experts who are here to help you build your personal brand and position you for future success. They'll introduce you to the many resources available to you here at HPU.
We've got a lot to do this semester, and we'll do it together as a collaborative team, the HPU way.
It will be productive and fun!
Prof. Smith
