Career Day (earn 2 contact hours)
Contact Person: Stacey Langenburg,  stacey.langenberg@comcast.net

Are you looking for a fun way to spend your Monday of the convention? Well how about considering educating 125 High School students on what exactly you do each day?

On Monday September 27, 2010 NSH will be hosting its 2010 Career Day from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM.  We need volunteers for the AM session (8:30 AM to 11:30 AM and the PM session (12:00 PM to 3:00 PM).  Participants can o volunteer for one session or both sessions.  Volunteers will work at lab stations to demonstrate grossing, embedding, cutting, staining, and coverslipping.  In addition volunteers will work with kids at a microscope to look at their completed slides.  The event also includes an "expert" panel for a Q& A session detailing the different areas of histology.  If this sounds like something you would love to be a part of include that in your email.  Volunteers are asked to attend a brief training session on Sunday September 26th after the lecture series at 9:45am
