We have over 7000 students here in Bloomsburg. So that’s a lot of opportunities that we have to offer for them,” he acknowledges. “That means that we’re heavily engaged with our employers, organizations, and nonprofits throughout the region, to make sure that we’re being good partners with them and creating opportunities for our students, generating those internships and job shadow opportunities, and maybe even full-time job opportunities.” He relays that Commonwealth University also brings nontraditional programs to the community, 503 Market Street, Bloomsburg, PA 17815 ELMDALEINN.COM • 570-854-4856 You deserve to be spoiled
