Mariska Beijer hired before graduating from UW-Whitewater

2017 May 11

Mariska Beijer from Arnhem, Netherlands, who studied marketing, was one of many University of Wisconsin-Whitewater students to land a job before spring commencement. Students accepted job offers from all over the state and nation. Others are moving on to prestigious graduate school programs.

Mariska was hired as a professional athlete at Dolphins Trier in Trier, Germany.

In what has become a highly anticipated and celebrated tradition at the university, these students are invited to have their photos taken and posted to social media. Each year it has been offered, UW-Whitewater has set a record for the number of students who participated; this year, 186 students volunteered for the event. Commencement is May 13, 2017.
