College Visit #1

     College visit #1 took place on Friday when Cara and Keith went to Wayne State College for a Friday Focus Senior Day.  They toured the campus, ate lunch, talked to a science professor, toured the science labs, etc.

     Cara thinks that she wants to become a Lab Technician and work at a hospital performing tests.  Last spring she job shadowed in three areas at our hospital and the lab is what she liked the best.  At that time, the hospital had two college interns and they spoke to Cara about what classes she needed to take and how they enjoyed the work.

     Cara was impressed by how new the science labs were at Wayne State.  She ran into some students that she knew.  Cara liked that she got to sit down one-on-one with a science professor and talk about her major and ask questions about the program.  She would go to Wayne State for three years and then transfer to UNMC for course work and then an internship for the last year.  

     Keith and Cara were both impressed with the campus.  Wayne State is going growing and is making improvements continuously.  This summer they put a new fire alarm system in one of the dorms, put in a new press box for the football field and are constructing a new applied technology building.  Keith was not impressed that not all the dorms have air conditioning.  But, they both felt that Cara could attend Wayne State College.

     Next month, we will have college visit #2.  Cara is attending a college fair this week at Northeast to gather more information.  This last week I attended a financial aid meeting for seniors and there parents.  There is quite a bit to do!

Take care,
