“My experience here has been great; the students have been very receptive and they have been open to the change that has taken place, with pretty much everyone in the office being brand new,” says Ms. Lee.

Moving forward into the semester Ms. Lee wants to ensure that all seniors have a plan B after graduation. Whether it is a job in their field of study or graduate school. She plans to focus on preparing students for life after college.
