St. Scholastica students learn about careers

    Juniors and seniors at St. Scholastica Academy recently got to hear about a multitude of careers from 22 professional women at the school’s annual Career Day.     
    The alumnae returned to their alma mater to offer guidance, advice and real world experience to students in social work, architecture, dentistry, veterinary medicine, nursing, the stock market and other fields.
    Melissa Landry, a 2007 SSA graduate, was keynote speaker. She graduated summa cum laude from Louisiana State University in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in finance and currently lives in New York, where she is an investment banking analyst in the Natural Resource Group at Goldman Sachs.
     As part of the Career Day, SSA students were recruited as hosts to the alumnae on campus, and alums were treated to lunch.
