On Thursday, May 10th, Chess in the Schools hosted a Career Fair for over sixty College Bound students. Students were treated to a great information session and Q & A with 6 panelists from a wide-variety of careers!
We had the following panelists for the event:

Students asked a variety of great questions from “Did you know what career you wanted when you entered college?” to “What advice do you have for us as we get ready college?”
The presenters shared their stories and experiences and shared a wealth of information with the students.
