Rosemont College proudly highlights the achievements of Brie Muldoon, Class of 2023, a Marketing major whose initiative reflects the core values of the institution. During the COVID pandemic, Brie identified a pressing need: local businesses were struggling to stay open, and students needed meaningful work experience. He saw an opportunity to serve both.

The idea took shape during Rosemont’s virtual Business Card Exchange event. Brie spoke with members of the Lower Merion Chamber of Commerce and learned about the challenges facing small businesses. “From a law firm to a nonprofit, small businesses described their struggle to pay expenses,” Brie shared. “In light of this, these companies were trying not to stand down, but to rise up: offering discounted and free services to those in need.”

Inspired by their resilience, Brie began developing a plan. His proposal aimed to connect Rosemont students with local businesses through a new internship program. The goal was clear: support the community while providing students with valuable, hands on experience. Brie’s work is a clear example of Rosemont’s commitment to ethical leadership, collaboration, and professional development.
