NU Alumni Success Stories

Cole Ruwet Former Owner, Solstice Café

In 2003 Cole fulfilled his life-long dream of owning and operating a bar/restaurant/live music venue. Over the next 3 years, Cole turned this relatively unknown Café into a hot spot for Jazz and other live music plus launched a catering operation. At the Solstice Café, Cole was the sole owner, manager, artist booker, publicist, and did everything else that needed to get done. In the summer of 2007, sensing a turn in the economy,(and after receiving an offer he couldn’t refuse) Cole sold the café. Cole currently does accounting work, but doesn’t rule out operating another business in the future. Cole is a 2002 NU graduate who majored in Small Business Management & Entrepreneurship. Read More>

Have you utilized Husky Career Link? All of the interviews that I’ve been on have been through HuskyCareerLink (HCL). I think using HCL is really important because employers are more likely to look at your resume and interview than they would with candidates through a regular website.
