EMC Student STAR participants Jeremy Hall, Jack Gallagher, and Roma Gujarathi
Nipmuc Seniors, Jack Gallagher, Roma Gujarathi, and Jeremy Hall participated in the EMC Student STAR Program which is a 4-day intensive summer workshop.
According to Nipmuc Principal John Clements the “program is designed to equip students with the tools needed to excel in their academic journey. The aim of the Student STAR Program is to bridge the gap between higher education and professional development by focusing on four themes central to every student’s success: Communication, Teamwork, Life Skills and an Introduction to Business.”
The seniors were excited to participated in the program. Jack Gallagher said, “The amount of skills I learned was amazing. I learned how to write a winning resume, how to network with business professionals, how to correctly eat at business events, how to budget money and develop better presentation skills.”Roma Gujarathi developed her public speaking skills. “In one workshop, we were randomly given a topic and we had to speak in front of the room on that topic for one minute. The spontaneity of the activity helped me in my communication skills; I learned that confidence is key,” Roma said.
Jeremy Hall said, The most beneficial part of the program was easily the interview and resume presentation. I got to know the mindset of an employer who is looking at interns and their resumes. Every part of the program emanated from a corporate environment. I am thankful for the opportunity to attend the program.”
Mr. Clements highlighted the three seniors in his weekly blog and congratulated them on their achievement.
