QU’s recent graduates look forward to impressive careers in everything from pro basketball to clinical psychology. In fact, according to a recent survey, nearly 80 percent of graduates of QU’s undergraduate programs are employed, and nearly 40 percent are involved in graduate education, within six months of leaving QU.

Here’s a glimpse of some of our recent grads:

Eric Yutzy ’02, BA mass communications, is the weekend sports anchor at WTVF, a CBS affiliate in Nashville. He landed his first TV gig as a reporter for WKEF/WGRT in Dayton, Ohio, just months after graduating QU. After 10 months at WKEF, he beat out 450 applicants for a job at WMGM in Atlantic City.

Jonathan Carlson ’03, BA mass communications, is a TV reporter for KTXL-TV in Sacramento, Cal., who made his national reporting debut on MSNBC, covering Hurricane Charley for WBBH-TV in Fort Myers, Fla., just one year out of college. (He and his colleagues at one point had to evacuate the station during the storm.)

Josh Hrabosky ’01, BA psychology, is completing his PsyD at Yale University School of Medicine. He recently returned to QU to address the Psychology Club. The topic: “Understanding, Assessing, and Treating Body Image Disturbances.”

Ashlee Kelly ’04, BA criminal justice, is head women’s basketball coach and assistant director for student services at Mercy College. Previously she was a pro basketball player with the Perik Jumpers in Holland for the 2004-05 season.
