Jaspers Helping JaspersSince its inception in February 2009, the Alumni Society’s ”Jaspers Helping Jaspers” initiative has posted over 2,650 open positions on the college’s Web site Here. Alumni have contributed most of these job postings but we need more. We have identified mostly large companies where there are many alumni employed. We will be contacting these alumni asking them to join our efforts to help unemployed Jaspers connect with open positions at their firms. In this economic environment, the personal touch of Jaspers helping Jaspers is needed to help alumni who are unemployed and looking for work. This is a call to all of our alumni who are business owners and those in management positions at other firms; please lend an assist to your fellow Jaspers. We need more interaction between alumni and this program. If you have open positions, please send the information to bernadette.blocker@manhattan.edu. If you are looking for a job, send your resume to Bernadette Blocker at the same email address. If you would like to help our committee, contact marjorie.apel@manhattan.edu.
