On Friday January 31, 107 local JAG students from our Region 7 JAG Programs met on the campus of Ivy Tech in Terre Haute for the 3rd annual Career Development Conference.
The conference consisted of competitions that gave the students the opportunity to demonstrate the skills they are learning as part of the JAG curriculum.
Students were provided lunch as well as a tour of Ivy Tech. Representatives from Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University also spoke to the students about the programs available at their respective schools.
