            Students entering grades 6-9 this fall chose to explore one of the following careers, which are being held in the classroom listed in parenthesis:

• Pediatrics/Nursing (BH 1485)
• Veterinarian/Animal Training (BH 2417)
• Law Enforcement/CSI (BH 2453)
• Musician/Band (BH 2303)

            The Law Enforcement/CSI module will have two special presentations that are open to college employees on a drop in basis. Tuesday, the Springdale Bomb Squad will have its dogs and robots in the field on the NE side of the Shewmaker Center from 8-noon. Thursday, Missouri Southern State University will have its mobile crime scene lab at the Shewmaker Center 8-noon. College employees are asked to come by, take a look and thank these entities for their help this week.
