Alumnae Inspire Students on Career Day

Alumnae spoke to Upper School students to kick off Reunion Weekend.
     Nineteen alumnae speakers covered a wide range of careers from military medical doctor to lawyer to foreign journalist to author/designer/illustrator during Friday's Upper School Career Day. The women talked about their journeys to their current position, how St. Catherine's shaped that journey and they offered sound advice.
     Each Upper School student selected three sessions to attend. Upper School Student Ambassadors paired up with the speakers as their host for the day. Career Day kicks off Reunion Weekend.
