Sophomores stepped up at the career fair -- dominating the "dos" and "do nots" of resume building (1st - Taneal and Danessa), placing in the top 10 (pictured here) or winning the pull up challenge (Holden - 23!). They are pictured here with the Midwest Bank booth representatives.

At the Thayer County Career Fair, DPS sophomores came dressed to impress, ready with their resumes, and learning about summer internships and potential future careers at that Stastny Center in Hebron. The future looks bright for them right here in Thayer County. Thank you, TCEDA!
