Many of our students land jobs at partners like Hasbro, Target, Kohl’s and Brown Health even before graduation, thanks to industry connections through faculty. There are multiple ways to explore your industry, like participating in clubs, joining professional organizations, managing social media or marketing for JWU departments — even doing tax work for clients.; A Supportive Space for Entrepreneurs JWU Providence’s Larry Friedman Center for Entrepreneurship, also known as the Launch Pad, is open to students from across the university to explore ideas and pursue dreams with continuous faculty mentors — all with a student-designed logo and student-strategized social media outreach.
