Sophomore Jumpstart

$1,500 Grant for Career Center’s Sophomore Jump Start Event

September 6, 2019

The Enterprise Holdings Foundation has donated $1,500 to the UP Career Center to fund the annual Sophomore Jump Start event. The Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Enterprise Holdings, which, through its integrated network of independent regional subsidiaries and franchises, operates the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental, and Alamo Rent-A-Car brands.

In spring 2019, the Career Center brought ten UP alumni back to campus for a “10 Careers in 30 Minutes” panel discussion and networking event, open to sophomore students from all majors. With this grant, the Career Center looks forward to another successful Sophomore Jump Start in Spring 2020.
