The McConnell Companies Teams Up To Support Wilmington University’s Co-Op Program We’ve joined forces with Wilmington University’s Community and Academic Partnerships Co-op Program and invite you to do the same.

Wilmington University’s Cooperative Education department provides an academic program grounded in the institution’s commitment to “excellence in teaching” and “exemplary career-oriented” degree programs. It promotes experiential learning in addition to career and personal development through student participation in paid, relevant and progressive employment. Learning outcomes include development of critical thinking skills and integration of classroom theory with workplace practice. Employer Benefits Cooperative Education provides a source of well-qualified, pre-screened, highly motivated employees. Candidates are readily available from a conscientiously administered, University-based program which is well-designed, reliable, and fully-tested. Co-op can help employers to: • Cut recruitment costs, • Provide for both short-term and long-term employment needs, • Locate highly motivated college-educated students who can be immediately productive, • Relieve high salaried professionals from time-consuming tasks that provide excellent learning experiences for students, • Observe the potential and performance of possible future employees without an obligation to hire, • Train future employees to specific needs, • Develop a staff which has a proven job retention rate.

Reinventing the Office of the Future Exciting renovations are planned for Hercules Plaza, a signature building in Delaware’s skyline since it was built in 1983. Tucked away where the city center slopes down to the Brandywine River and just a short walk from busy Rodney Square, Hercules Plaza is being reinvented from the inside out. Originally built by the architectural firm of Kohn, Pederson & Fox, Hercules Plaza has been reinvented by New York architects, FX Fowle. Both the interior and exterior spaces will be transformed to be more flexible, spacious and suitable for business gatherings and lunchtime excursions. Hercules Plaza is set to gain a more multi-purpose character with the resulting property offering tenants and visitors more modern amenities in a dynamic new environment. The reconstruction of Hercules Plaza is set to begin in 2012. The beginning phases will include the renovation of the building’s atrium, restrooms and elevators. Continue to check back with us as we move forward with exciting plans for this unique building!
