Police Chief Marilyn Diaz and Council Member Josh Moran were among those sharing their professional experiences with the high school students.
Guest speakers representing a wide variety of careers gathered on the campus to offer students an inside look at the professional world. The entire student body, faculty and staff welcomed 27 guest speakers, a large number of whom were Alverno alumnae, current parents, and local leaders.
Some of the guests Alverno welcomed to Career Day included Sierra Madre Police Chief Marilyn Diaz, who discussed law enforcement, and Sierra Madre City Council Member Josh Moran who discussed the ins and outs of working in public relations.
“The purpose of the day, to increase awareness of the many options awaiting students after college, was certainly met and exceeded by our remarkable speakers who gave so generously of their time and expertise,” Alverno’s College Counselor Eileen Garabedian said in an email.
