Senior Jabrae Green, who has had an long-standing interest in all things kitchen-related, is interning with Annalise Wynn, who runs Cravin' Something Good Bakery. Jabrae has learned what it takes to succeed in the baking business, from customer service, to pricing, to budgets, to recipe building and product design. Jabrae’s goal is to go to culinary school after graduation and open her own bakery.

Senior Matt Perry is interning at Art with Heart in Baltimore, in the community outreach program the non-profit organization runs to bring art into local elementary and middle school classrooms. His mentor, Kayon Cox, oversees the interns in the outreach program, and the interns are there to make sure each day’s project is well-planned, asssembled and ready for the children to execute when the Art with a Heart team arrives at the school. Matt's communication and artistic skills help him to succeed at the site.

Students from Western Run residence hall and their Faculty in the Halls mentors, business communication professors Leeanne Bell McManus and Chip Rouse, enjoyed a spooky night of haunts and history in Fells Point on Nov. 6. The "Haunted Ghost Tour" provided a wealth of history about the Fells Point area, and the professional tour guide had some scary narratives about the ghosts who still roam the old port town. The evening ended with a delicious gelato!

Great thanks goes out to School of Design Industry Specialist Jennifer Marin Jericho and the entire Office of Career Services for the "Steve Talks" event on Nov. 5. Professionals from a variety of fields participated in the afternoon sessions, while alum Jamie Windom gave the keynote address.
