Junior finds second chance at success with Company Spotlights
Earlier this year, junior Owen Perrien landed a two-year internship with Edmonds, Hunt & Associates financial services in Greensboro. Not long before that, however, he was at home in Durham thinking about what a fresh start in higher education might look like.
“I knew, you know, this is it this time. I’m going to be serious. I was going to get involved,” said Perrien. “I think it was during my Bryan School orientation I heard about the Company Spotlights. I’m pretty sure it was something simple, like one of the things UNCG does is bring companies in to make a presentation about what they do, and I thought that sounded interesting. They mentioned that sometimes people get internships and get hired and that it was a good way to network.”
