Athens Academy Students Learn from Professionals Through New Program




Athens Academy is offering a new speaker series for Upper School students, during which professionals from all walks of life will share their educational and career experiences and answer questions during a casual luncheon format.

This past week engineer Philip Kendrick spoke to two groups of students about his unconventional career path in the fields of mechanical engineering, intellectual property, and patenting. Kendrick, who is the director of intellectual property for Dover Environmental Solutions Group, has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in engineering from the University of Maryland as well as an MBA from Wichita State University. He shared his experiences designing and implementing projects for companies like Bell Helicopter, FOX Factory, Textron Aviation, and more.

In October, Athens Academy alumna Karen Morgan kicked off the new series as she talked about her career, during which she went from working as an artist and designer in a medical setting, to getting her law degree and working as a prosecutor in Atlanta, to finally working as a successful stand- up comedian. Morgan advised the students to be open to new opportunities and challenges. She has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Georgia and a J.D. from Georgia State University.

Very cool post, thanks for sharing! I'm currently a second-year student and writing nursing essays has been a struggle for me, to say the least. But recently, I discovered the power of using essay samples https://www.nursingpaper.com/examples/bone-diseases-essay/ as a reference. They provide valuable insights into the structure and key points to include. It's like having a guiding hand throughout the writing process. Samples have definitely made a positive impact on my essay writing skills!

It's quite informative! To be honest, I've seen that more and more students struggle to complete their assignments. However, students who receive assistance from https://www.sopservices.net/ are more productive and turn in their assignments on time. Their writing abilities advance as well, and they write better.

Culinary arts students currently cater events for school district functions, but in the fall of 2023, they will be working onsite in a remodeled kitchen that’s commercial grade. Plans are to find space for a restaurant in the career academy, open to the community, and to let the paper helpers experience firsthand running a food business. This style of writing is usually used to persuade readers to accept a position or to perform an action. Rather than simply presenting facts, it often includes the writer's opinions and biases.
