Taking Advantage

By: Cristin Coons

Being an intern for LACD this summer has opened my eyes to all of the great programs our organization has to offer. I always knew that there were programs for students, however now I realize how many there are and how few students take advantage of them. 

For example, coming up this fall, on September 27th LACD will be hosting a graduate school fair for any students wanting to advance their education past their undergraduate degrees. Advance Yourself will feature around 25 graduate schools in an information fair and will also showcase several sessions on topics selected by previous undergrads. Be sure to check out this opportunity if you want to pursue a future education.

Another great program that LACD will be hosting this fall is The Applicant. Last year, in its inaugural year, 3 finalists were selected to compete in several competitions and were judged by five expert panelists. The Ultimate Applicant, Kara McIver, won a dream interview with Burston-Marstellar and also received $250. YOU could be the next Ultimate Applicant this year; callouts will be in the fall with more information available then. 

So the next time you hear or see an advertisement for a program hosted by LACD, remember to take advantage of it!
