We had over 200 students attend the three-hour event.  Students were asking questions and gathering information about possible future careers.  After the event, several of the presenters commented on what engaging dialogue they had with the students.  

This will definitely be an annual event based on the response from our students as well as our presenters.  The event was organized by TVLA and Career Center Counselor, Mr. Michael Harris.  Thank you Mr. Harris for the tremendous job you did on organizing such an awesome event.
