Alumni Testimonials
Where UNC Training Takes Center Stage
“My professors taught me to be curious and to know that I can not only use my imagination to create my characters, but I can actually use my own experiences to make characters come to life. I certainly still use my UNC training.”
Aléna Watters, ‘03
From UNC to District 6
"UNC gave me a foundation of philosophies and practices that helped me transition into this career. It also helped me connect with District 6. I did every single step of my education program at D6 schools, and I am thankful for the relationship between UNC and the district."
Stephen Paulson, ’11
From UNC to the Denver Broncos: A Launchpad for Success
"Not having a financial burden is huge. I recognized that UNC and Reisher were meeting me halfway, so now it was time for me to do my side – do the clubs and the internships because the financial burden was off my shoulders... I’ve been fortunate enough to recently receive a full-time internship with the Denver Broncos."
Jasmin Mazariegos Rodriguez, '26

Center for Career Readiness
We help students connect the classroom to the world of work so they can make confident choices about their education and careers. Our approach puts students at the center, encouraging them to explore options that fit their goals, values, and identity. We also work with employers and the campus community to create opportunities and break down barriers that can stand in the way of success.
