Douglass Alumnae Go Home
Sheila K. La Magra Offers Tips on “Change & Learning” as Panelist on Mentorship Plenary Session Hosted by Associate Alumnae of Douglass College.
South Brunswick, NJ, August 20, 2012 --(PR.com)-- As a graduate of Douglass College at Rutgers University and a successful local businesswoman with her own e-Commerce, interactive marketing, advertising and social media firm, Sheila K. La Magra of Excelerated Performance LLC / EP Connects recently participated in a plenary panel hosted by The Associate Alumnae of Douglass College (www.douglassalumnae.org) that discussed the “Legacy of the Past, Foundation of the Future: Douglass Mentorship.”
Founded at Douglass in 2005, this new Mentor Program is facilitated by students, who help incoming students as well as those returning to college after a five year or more absence to transition smoothly through this potentially traumatic experience. During the session held at the Barbara Voorhees Chapel as part of the annual Douglass Founders Day Event, La Magra lauded the effort, while admitting she “wished this type of program was in place while I was a student here at Douglass.”
“I came here for a small community feeling offered in a larger university environment,” add La Magra. “But, it can be hard to find your way. I truly understand the feeling of going from a small high school to a major college with the desire to succeed and the fear of getting lost in the crowd. As a result, I advise students to look for mentorship everywhere. Think of everyone -- friends, family and colleagues – as potential mentors, who can supply the understanding and wisdom that follow and sustain you for life. Plus, remember that the only constant is change. For instance, Facebook didn’t even exist when I was a student and now it is part of my everyday personal and professional life.”
In addition, during the weekend festivities La Magra was honored to have her company, EP Connects, recognized at the Founders Day Luncheon for its efforts to support the AADC’s Externship Program. Currently, EP Connects is also working with the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College to develop and maintain their program website (www.douglassalumnae.org) and new online registration portal (www.douglassalumnaeregistration.com) dedicated to AADC events and updates.
