Devon Prep Holds Career Forum With Successful Alumni

DEVON, PA -- Devon Prep’s Alumni Mentor Program held a Career Forum Session on February 23, giving students the unique opportunity to learn from and meet some of the school’s accomplished graduates.

The program routinely invites alumni to return to their alma mater to discuss college and career experiences, and to allow students to ask questions about prospective careers.

Each session is focused on a distinct career path, ranging from medicine to business and law.

Three alumni participated in Tuesday evening’s event:

• John Pruett ‘88, a Marketing Manager and Regional Sales Manager at PMC Group
• Matt Oakes ‘99, a Sales Operations and Support Manager at Dorman Products
• Andrew Fox ‘05 a Regional Marketing Director at Lincoln Financial Distributors

Organizer David Evans, the Director of Alumni Relations at Devon Prep, said that the students get a clear value from the program.

“This is the fourth year I’ve run this program,” Evans said. “And it has grown nicely. Some students have even received internships from it.”

More than 20 students and parents were in attendance on Tuesday. After the session, students and alumni enjoyed pizza and soda in a meet and greet atmosphere and exchanged contact information.
