Job-Shadowing Students Explore Career Options on Campus

On April 29, 13 local high school students from Keene High School’s TNT program were given an opportunity to investigate possible careers by “shadowing” Keene State College faculty and staff in nine different areas around campus.

Betsy Street, with the Monadnock Center for Successful Transitions (MCST), located in the Education Department, and Heather McGreer (Human Resources) collaborated with other KSC staff and report that students and mentors alike found the experience rewarding and meaningful. They thank the following offices and staffers who hosted students: Sodexho – Paul Paltrineri; Child Development Center – Deirdre McPartlin; Physical Plant, Grounds – Joe Britton, Electrical Service – Richard Smith and Doug Adler, Plumbing and Heating – Dave Weeks and Tim Caspersen; College and Media Relations – Chris Justice; Education Dept. – Felicia Favreau; Human Resources – Valerie Hodge, Cathy Greene, Rosean Liimatainen; Radio Station – Aaron Potter, Larry Welkowitz.
