Career Day At Gateway
Gateway welcomed over 50 impressive speakers from the surrounding communities on
December 13th for our third annual Career Day. We value and appreciate the relationships
we have built with these wonderful Career Day speakers who volunteer their time to share
their knowledge. The keynote speaker of the day was Mr. Jesse Gary from NBC10 News.
Keynote Speaker:
Jesse Gary a reporter from NBC10, intrigued his young audience by involving them in an
exercise of what actually happens behind the scenes in the news room. Everyone was
amazed at how much work and competitiveness is involved in the media business. Mr. Gary,
who gave the students a real inside look at this business, is a native of New York City who
earned a Peabody award for his coverage of the Oklahoma City bombings in 1995 and the
