Pros Talk To Students About Career Options
More than a dozen professionals from a variety of vocations demonstrated and discussed their careers for 4th and 5th graders at P.S. 115’s annual Career Awareness Symposium on Monday at the Daniel Mucatel School at 1500 East 92nd Street. Professionals representing such di-verse fields as the U.S. Army, civil servants, including New York City police officers, firefighters and teachers, teach-ing, fashion, the law, banking, media and journalism talked about their respective careers to several classes of fourth and fifth graders. "The goal of the symposium," ex-plained P.S. 115 principal Mitchell S. Pinsky, "is to make our students aware of a variety of careers available to them in the future, as well as giving them an idea of what preparation is needed." The symposium was coordinated, as it is annually, by Susan Cortijo with assistance from PTA President Dorothy Campbell and the PTA. Some of the eighteen career professionals who took part this year were Army Sergeant First Class Herbie Mickens, NYPD officers Tammy Sav-age and Anita Jackson, firefighters from Canarsie Fire Company 170, lo-cal podiatrist Dr. Ira Cohen, Guidance counselors Meredith Lind and Christine Vojvodich, radiation therapist Bob Per-kins, WXRK media sales representative Donovan Welsh, several attorneys, including Michael Mondschein, and Canarsie Courier features editor Neil S. Friedman.
