Query:Comm 337

Doc Ellertsen
Benedictine University Communications Professor
Springfield, Illinois

Dear Doc --

Attached is a 1,000 word article for your consideration for publication in Benedictine University’s Informing Today, Transforming Tomorrow future student recruitment materials. The article is about a student that is attending Benedictine University.  It takes you through her trails and her accomplishments. This is a powerful article with a “can do” mentality.

Kristen Nieslawski is a role model for student’s at all different levels. When asked about her philosophy behind education, her response was enlightening. As stated in the article, she believes knowledge is power, and accumulated knowledge leads to wisdom.  She strongly believes that wisdom, which is the ability to discern, moves you into a place of continued opportunity.  Wisdom can be applied to attitudes, beliefs, and actions and should be sought after more than riches.  Her reasoning is that riches fade away, but wisdom will be with you forever.

This article sets the tone for recruiters to engage students in the furtherance of their education. It also gives readers a glimpse of the life of a young student searching for what life has to bring and successfully reaching the goals she has set. Nieslawski will graduate in May of 2012 with a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and will continue to pursue her education through work experience and a graduate degree program.

Some thoughts on photographs to follow...
