Career Ed & School to Work: Great job last week to all seniors who began the second block of their intern positions. I had some excellent feedback. Good luck to Emily who began her internship at the Humane Society today, where she has been working very hard and completed two training days with them. A great job by all career students today as they completed presentations on individuals whose careers shaped America.
