Most college students don’t have to be as resourceful as Molly Dodd. At 21 years old she had lost both of her parents, her father to a sudden heart attack when she was 16 and her mother to liver and adrenal cancer. On her own financially, Dodd held down four jobs while she worked toward her B.S. in journalism and public relations at Southeastern University, a Christian college in Lakeland, FL with 1,500 students. Though she’d done two unpaid internships in Florida, at a Lakeland magazine and a Plant City marketing and communications firm, she had no big-city connections or much of an alumni network from her tiny school.
