Our East-West Middle School students had the opportunity to learn about different careers and what it takes to be college ready!
Our panelist talked about their careers, classes they took to spark their interest, what colleges would be looking for, as well as what middle school students can do to be successful in a meaningful career.
The guests included:
Mr. Vladamir Arrieta, Financial Analyst
Ms. Cori Cohen, Registered Dietician
Mr. Rich Lohner, Beekeeper
Ms. Andrea Nadler, Associate Dean of Admission, Hofstra University
Ms. Jessica O'Herron, Global Citizenship Fellow-UNICEF
Mr. Scott Seigel, Associate Director of Admission, LIU-Brooklyn Campus
Thinking caps were put on to learn the difference between having a job and having a career.
Bottom line...get good grades, have an interest in a variety of subjects, and get involve in clubs and activities.
