CAREER CONFERENCE
Each year , as part of their Career Education journey , Grade 11 – 12 students spend an afternoon with CHS alumnae and parents who generously share their career and life expertise with students as they consider their next steps and career paths .
This year ’ s theme was Agility : Being Comfortable with the Uncomfortable . Keynotes Stephanie Grauer ’ 15 , a fourth-generation alumna , and her mother , third-generation alumna Leila Bell-Irving Grauer ’ 77 , spoke to students about why facing failure is important , accepting change , and trusting yourself .
“ You ’ re the most agile generation of my lifetime , and I want to help you recognize the incredible things that have happened in your minds due to dealing with COVID , school closures and working online . Because you had to shift so much of your life to deal with the current circumstances we find ourselves in , you ’ ve already been on the treadmill of agility ,” Bell-Irving Grauer said in the presentation .
Students were invited to participate in discussion panels with topics like architecture and planning to health sciences , business , technology , communications and more . Panels were led by alumnae , parents of current and past students , and community members .
A huge thank you to alumnae who volunteered their time and shared their journeys with students !
