Career Spinner

The undergraduate Career Services office is honoring one of die more energetic recruiters in recent history, John B. Kovas '63. During annual trips to Hanover the former senior vice president/account director for Leo Burnett connected with thousands of undergrads, recruiting a handful each year to the ad agency.

As a memorial to Kovas, who died in 1996, his family, including son Ted '94, TH '95, and daughter Caroline '01, have established a fund for career discovery programs and resources. Initiatives include Super Saturday, which brings undergraduates and alumni together in a mini-career conference; the Dartmouth Portfolio Project, in which students electronically track the skills gained from internships and foreign studies; and the Alumni(ae) Stories Project, in which students photograph alumni at work. Among the alumni shown in the Stories Porject are Sara Elizabeth Page '90, field/associate producer for TV specials on natural history and extreme sports, and Michael Chu '68, president of non-profit ACCION International.
