Career Day - THANK YOU!

On behalf of the SUHi Counseling Team, I’d like to extend a BIG THANK YOU to our entire staff for helping with Friday’s Career Day!

THANK YOU to our dozens of career speakers who came to meet with our students. We had such a great group of people participate! Having met all of our speakers, our students have had an invaluable experience in learning more about their career interests. Seeing students interact and ask lots questions of the professionals was so rewarding to our counseling team. We look forward to working with you all again in the future! For a complete list of our career day speakers, click here.

During the registration and reception in the morning, it was a bit overwhelming having over 80 career speakers in the library. Lots of suits and ties, doctor scrubs, military uniforms, and more!

THANK YOU to the counselors, Marti, library staff, and administration to helping meet and greet all of our visitors. Many of our speakers were SUHi alumni so they were super happy to be “home”!

THANK YOU to all the teachers and support staff who were great hosts in the classrooms. Thanks for your flexibility with changes in speakers and venues, and even working around no-show speakers. One of the presenters came up to me and said we have the nicest staff. He was impressed with everyone’s friendliness and smiles. He says he senses everyone at SUHi loves their job and loves being here!

THANK YOU to the custodial team who helped with all the set up, break down, and making sure SUHi was ready to receive our guests!

THANK YOU to Javier a.k.a. “the IT guy” for helping us be techie ready for all the power points and videos shown on Friday! The speakers were impressed with the smart boards in the new building!

THANK YOU to Link Crew and the YMCA peer leaders for their help in escorting our speakers around campus!

THANK YOU to the counseling center interns, Zorayda and Lelycia, for set-up for the Career Fair in the new gym. It was definitely a learning experience for them! Great work ladies!
