with different corporations. In fact, two
Cor Jesu alumnae from the Class of 2015,
Shannon Turner and Anne Wilhelm,
worked as interns at Centene during the
summer of 2018 as a direct result of the
INC event. Further, Shannon was hired
full-time at Centene after graduating
from the University of Missouri-Columbia
in May 2019 as a result of the internship.
“Cor Jesu girls all have a similar makeup
in terms of their excellent work ethic,
intelligence and desire to be challenged,”
Don notes. “So, of course we want to
expose them to the field with hopes that
some of them may pursue it, and maybe
even eventually work for us at Centene.”
To Don, it simply makes sense to
partner with Cor Jesu—a place where the
mission to Share the Love of the Heart of
Christ aligns with his company’s purpose
to better the community, a place with a
pool of young and eager learners, and a
place where he has watched his daughter
grow and be challenged.
“One of Centene’s major focuses is to
develop the next generation of leaders,”
Don says. “And what better place to find
those leaders than at Cor Jesu?”
