CAREER DAY -
The Guidance Department sponsors a Career Day every other year. Sophomore and junior students have the opportunity to listen to alumnae, who represent a number of different career pathways, share information about their careers and work experiences. All the students gather to hear a keynote address and then the students rotate to two different panel sessions throughout the morning. A question and answer period follows each panel presentation.
