Junior High students from Mont Pleasant were paired up with Union employees to by their individual interests and spent time on the job. Following the “shadow” opportunity, the students were given a tour of the College, had lunch at Hale House and were given a chance to talk about their experience.

My name is Helena DiGiuseppe. I'm in 8th grade at Mont Pleasant Middle School. I found out about “Shadow Day” from my Home and Careers teacher Ms. Zema. She presented this as an educational opportunity at a location away from school, in this case to spend a morning at Union College. I signed up for it, not really sure what exactly it was, but I am glad that I did, I found it to be an educational experience.
Hi, my name is Ben Clayman and I go to Mont Pleasant Middle School. During my home and careers class we were presented with this field trip opportunity. The chance was the opportunity to shadow a Union College employee for the day to learn more about their career. I've learned a lot about the career of sports information.
