We had the last
Meet Up of the semester today, and it was awesome!
The day started with a
Resume and Interview workshop designed to get students prepared for their next
requirement - submitting a polished resume and participating in a Mock
Interview with a professional community volunteer!
After the workshop, Terri Salzer from
Milwaukee Public Schools came in to talk to Lead to Succeed participants about
all the great MPS apprenticeship opportunities available to them in their
Junior and Senior years at MPS schools. Terri has already received some
follow up e-mails from students anxious to get started in pursuing an
apprenticeship!
During lunch, the Meet Up Award for highest Lead to
Succeed points earner was awarded to hard-working Marquan Whitelaw from Bayview
High School. Congratulations again, Marquan. You certainly deserve
that $50 Amazon gift card - we hope you enjoy it!
After lunch, students headed to the
School of Freshwater Science, where they got a stellar tour of the building
from Director of Development Eric Leaf. They head all about what it takes
to get into the School of Freshwater Science as a graduate student. Plus,
the students got to see all the amazing work in progress with fish, underwater
ROVs, Quagga Mussels, you name it! They even got to board the School of
Freshwater Science's research vessel, the Neeskay!
