NJ Governor's School Project
Eighty high school students and 14 staff members came to the NY Sun office to spend the day. The students were treated to a full day of learning about Sun, technology and career paths. Dynamic speakers like Brian Cleary, Fay Salwen and Isaac Rozenfeld dazzled the students. Those were only some of the super stars that came out to support the event. The whole NYC office got into the day as the students infiltrated the office.
The students had 9 learning sessions and a working lunch. They were able to pick their lunchtime session, which included "Confessions of a Former Techie" and "Social Networking." They interacted with employees in between sessions, learning from their Sun Team Captains who stayed with them the whole day. The day concluded with a closing session by a former and current intern. The students had a lot of questions on how to become a Sun intern/employee. We'll see some of these kids again! ; )
Although all the participants should be recognized, a special thank you should go to Shari Czar, Robin Goldfarb Wilensky, Diane Mathis, and Wayne Abbott.
(Pictured here are some of the students getting a peek at the servers in the lab.)
The kids had a great day, as did the volunteers!
