First Career Lab Event a Success
This year, the Alumni Office and the Upper School’s Career and Professional Skills Committee (CAPSC) are hosting a series of Career Labs. These interactive, student-led panel discussions will take place throughout the school year and focus on a variety of professions and industries, from finance to engineering, computer science, medicine, journalism, the arts, and more.
Potomac's first Career Lab featured Drew Durbin '04, CEO of Wave, a mobile money company. Mr. Durbin shared his experience and insights on everything from opening his first startup to the music he listens to. He challenged the juniors and seniors to think about college as a giant petri dish within which they can incubate their interests and align them with possible career paths. Seniors Arya Kumar and Alex Christ moderated the event. Both are members of CAPSC, along with seniors Arya Bansal, Erika Castellano, Genevieve Harris, Alex Hekmat, Grace Lee, Caelan McCormack, Alden Smallwood, and Shelby Willcox. The Alumni Office and CAPSC plan to host five more Career Labs this year. Read more about the Career Lab program here.
