Andie Day, a 2011 Baylor graduate, has succeeded where many college students have failed: finding a job straight out of college.
Just one year after graduating, Day works as a freelance costumer and has served on the sets of two cable television shows, as well as numerous independent films. Day said she advises students to use their time in college to gain on-site work experience.

Valparaiso University in Indiana has increased security and posted a warning to students on its website after receiving a vague threat through some graffiti.
