Q&A with Melinda Stephan on College and Career Planning Night

Anushka Dasgupta February 23, 2018
We start out with me doing a brief presentation on some of the resources we have here in the College and Career center, and then I stop talking to them and we do break out sessions.
If I stick to what I want to do with my future, I’ll be fine, because after high school I want to go into pharmacy at Purdue, and if I go through the entire program, which at least in terms of my degree, will guarantee me a job.

Senioritis is a Sham. Seniors shouldn’t use senioritis as an excuse to slack off on schoolwork.
