Among the 20 speakers presenting during 3rd and 4th periods are photographers, producers, businesspeople, and various other professionals. Junior and NTHS member Gia Reilly of Wall said many of the presenters were recommended by students and teachers.
According to senior and NTHS president Brian Murphy of West Long Branch, the event will feature freelance blogger and writer Molly Mulshine, ASAP Multimedia Productions director and producer Gerard Ascolese, photographer and owner Michael Kleinberg of Michael Kleinberg Photography, ESPN/ESPNU senior producer Amy Faas-Barber, Star Ledger photojournalist Aristide Economopoulos, graphic designer Su Brooks and many others.
“We also have Mrs. Sant coming, so we know everyone’s extremely excited,” said Reilly. Sant is one of CHS’s past faculty members who is also an independent public relations and communications professional.
Unlike last year’s set up, which allowed each group of students to attend every presentation, Murphy said there will be two separate tracks in which the students are divided to make the day go at a smoother pace.
“This year, it’s going to be a lot more fluid,” said Murphy. “The goal is to enable each of the speakers to have a longer time to speak to each student, which will be about 10 minutes.”
According to Murphy, “the goal was not to divide the students by interest, but to have a good spread to get more out of it.”
Reilly said this Career Day will be a success that will “hopefully step it up from last year.”
