Orion was invited (for the 4th year!) to speak to middle schoolers at Johnson Middle School in Westminster, California. Jeff, Orion’s president, described what it’s like to be an environmental scientist, geologist, or engineer.
He talked to three groups of 20 to 30 students over the course of the morning. The 8th grade class had eight different careers to choose from, and this was a great turnout for future environmental professionals!
Jeff spoke about the type of people who work at Orion, the kind of work environmental consultants do, and the best high school class subjects to study when preparing for college and an eventual career in environmental science or engineering.
A few weeks later, Jeff received some wonderful handwritten thank-you cards from several students. He’ll be back in 2020!
