He earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Northern Illinois University when he found his career passion: working with college-aged people.

Mitchell currently works at the Ball State University Career Center helping match career passions and employer needs as the Associate Director for Employer Relations.  James and his team coordinate employer outreach on behalf of the University’s faculty, students, and alumni. He currently serves professionally as the president of the Midwest Association of Colleges and Employers.
