  • Live Virtual Q & A sessions with healthcare professionals
  • Pre-recorded site tours and interviews
  • Classroom activities aligned to state and industry standards
Le Roy - Ostrander Connections!
The best way to engage your students is to connect them with local employers!  Earlier this fall, Le Roy-Ostrander provided a list of companies and professionals who support the school for me to connect with and help get on the FutureForward™ portal.  The chart above is only a fraction of the businesses I will connect with in Cardinal country! 
Help me connect with local professionals and businesses in your school district through the referral form below or by sending me a list that includes current contact information. 
Referral
A warm introduction is greatly appreciated, so be sure to let them know who I am and that I will be contacting them soon!

In the next two weeks... 


  • Kick-off of Healthcare Month (January 11)
  • SMEC Principals Meeting (January 14)
  • Add professionals and companies to FutureForward
  • SMEC Alumni Network development
  • SMEC Career Wheel (reference Le Roy-Ostrander's above)
