Government agencies and businesses represented at Career Day were the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Air Force, the CIA, the National Institutes of Health, the National Archives, the U.S. Marshall Service, Deaf Reach, the Maryland School for the Deaf, and AT&T Relay Service. The students asked the alumni a variety of questions, such as how they got their jobs, how many deaf people work in their agency or business, and what salary they make. Two students, Batagana Levongala and Chrystal Whitzel, photographed the event with a digital camera. Career Day served as the kick-off for a new the Clerc Center initiative to help prepare deaf students for life and for f uture careers. According to Marilyn Galloway, a the Clerc Center transition coordinator, a variety of ongoing activities at MSSD and Kendall Demonstration Elementary School are planned to give the students insights on the world beyond school. Galloway and her team of transition counselors also plan to develop a deaf career role model library for use as both a printed and on-line research base related to career planning and education. Tom Quinn, a the Clerc Center transition coordinator, planned Career Day with the assistance of Daphne McGregor, assistant director of Alumni Relations. The event will be held annually; its goal is to increase the number of participants and careers represented. PHOTOS
