Hey parents and students, Ms. Lechtanski just posted the Career Seminar Schedule for May 2022. Please read below! Most sessions are during flex block, so please use the adaptive schedule to sign up for a session or more.
May 4: Physician: Dr. James Kenealy
An otolaryngologist, a physician with this job title is also referred to as an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor. ENTs deal with anything that has to do with the head, neck, and ears in adults and children including hearing, ear surgeries, cancers of the head, neck, and throat, problems with sinuses, the larynx or thyroid and may perform cosmetic or reconstructive surgery on the head and neck. Talk to Dr. Kenealy to learn about what it’s like to go to medical school and become a physician, how long it takes to become an ENT, more about the type of work he does as an ENT, the pros and cons of being a physician and how he manages his work-life balance. NOTE: This is a special evening session on Wednesday at 7 pm. If you're interested, email Mrs. Lechtanski (vlechtanski@hopkinton.k12.ma.us) to get the zoom link for this session.
May 10: Graphic Designer: Katie Wilson
Graphic designers are experts in visual communication. They use colors, photos, font styles, and other graphics to convey a message. Their aim is to tell a story or create a certain feeling. They help to shape an identity for a product, service, or company. Their work can persuade, inform, and entertain the public (careercruising.com).
May 12: Tech Entrepreneur: Jon Clark
Do you have lots of good ideas about how to sell products or services? Are you business-minded and innovative? Entrepreneurs can start a business with any product or service. The product can be anything from car parts to dog walking to online games. The people who invented personal computers, for example, were well ahead of their time. Other people in this field decide to work with an existing product or service. They either improve it or figure out how to provide it to customers more efficiently (careercruising.com).

Environmental scientists use their knowledge of the natural sciences to preserve the Earth, using their expertise of the natural sciences to protect wildlife and human health. They may clean up polluted areas, advise policymakers, or work with industry to reduce waste.
