Kudos to biology student Grace Cain on being named the Career Center's CPI of the Month for July!

Grace is currently interning in the Advanced Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab, where she is responsible for organizing a weekly teaching plan for the lab and demonstrating her exceptional teaching skills.

"Grace was committed to ensuring her students received the highest level of guidance and support necessary for their success," said Susan Marion, associate lecturer in the biological sciences department and Grace's supervisor. "She facilitated multiple optional open labs and consistently addressed students' inquiries outside of scheduled class hours by emailing them information to enhance their understanding of anatomy and physiology."
