On April 28th, we were planning to bring more than 800 students and 200 volunteers and guests together at the Mesa Convention Center for a day filled with workshops and competitions, followed by a Scholarships and Awards Celebration lunch. Traditionally, the Career Development Conference provides JAG with a unique opportunity to recognize student leadership and achievements and to provide students a showcase to demonstrate their skills to potential employers. Though we cannot be together in Mesa, we can still take time to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our students.
Thank you to the many volunteers who have worked with us over the past several weeks to put together workshops, judge competitions, and participated in our ceremonies below. Special thanks to our Conference Sponsors, Funders and Employer Partners for helping to make this event, and all of our JAG programming possible.
Please check in to let us know you were here!
