Media, Career, Work Experience Create Interest Three programs created much inter- est in students. These programs are the Media Center, and Work Exper- ience. The media center has been visited by most students one time or another, and was the buisest place on campus. Students went to the media center for a number of reasons. Some went to study for upcoming tests or to do re- search for another class. Others might go to catch up on the latest issue of their favorite magazine. Many students took the opportunity to learn about the library by working as an aid. assisting students in their search for materials. The Work Experience program gave students a chance to earn a maxium of twelve units by helping them with working skills for on-the-job use. Work Experience gets students ready for the real world of work. The Career Center served as a main source of information for college and career plans. For the college bound students, the Career Center housed many college catalogs from schools all over the United States. The Career Center also provided pamphlets on fu- ture career possibilites. i Xw Diane Leavy (top left) Career Guidance techni- V- ; ..
