HAMMOND – Approximately 70 junior high and high school students explored a variety of exciting career fields at Southeastern Louisiana University's "Zoom into Careers" workshops held last week.
The students enjoyed an introduction into the arenas of culinary arts, nursing, photography, theatre, criminal justice, digital innovation, web design, and television. Offered through the Division of Extended Studies, the workshops were available to 7-12 grade students and were held on the main campus in Hammond, at Southeastern's St. Tammany Center in Mandeville, and the Livingston Parish Literacy and Technology Center in Livingston.
The workshops featured a number of local professionals who instructed the students in various workshops.
