Exploring the Possibilities

Exploring the Possibilities is an annual high school career exposure event. The goals of the event were (1) to expose students to a variety of industries (“possibilities”) that are available with a college degree, (2) to help students understand the educational background, skills, and experience necessary to pursue a career, and (3) to catch a glimpse into a day of work in various industries.

This year, we were honored to partner with Accenture, e-Lucidate, Razorfish, and Ubisoft. Each company designed and led an interactive workshop to highlight what it’s like to work at their company. In addition to these companies, we also highlight professionals in healthcare through a “Careers in Medicine” session.

Special thank you to the 30+ professionals who volunteered their time to inspire over 80 high school students with future career possibilities!

Violence anywhere is abhorrent. The prevalence of guns as a means to
