Career observation days provide participating students with the opportunity to obtain firsthand information and insight regarding a career area of interest. Students are matched with a sponsor for a day of on-site observation consisting of attending meetings, interviewing the sponsor about her career experiences and meeting other professionals in the organization.
How To Be a Sponsor
Invitations for 2010 have been emailed to past sponsors and to those who have expressed
interest in becoming sponsors. If you would like to be a sponsor for a day during the week
of January 4-8, 2010, please call Misty Dumas-Patterson at (404)471-6397 by October 1,
2009.

Career observation days will be January 4-8, 2010.
