Attention West Seniors & Parents

The application for the $5,000 Brodsky Prize is now available on-line and due Thursday, March 31st. This prize is open to high school students who live in New Hampshire and attend public, charter or parochial schools. Students who live in a neighboring state, but attend a NH School, are also eligible. Judging criteria includes student's journalistic initiative and enterprise, as well as what Brodsky calls "a contrarian nature and out-of-the-box thinking."

Interested in Becoming an Actuary?

An actuary is a business professional who uses mathematical and

financial tools to help identify and manage risk, so it's a great career

for students who are strong mathematically but who are not necessarily

interested in teaching. It's also great for students who like business

and have good math aptitude.

I run a one-week summer program for rising high school seniors who want

to learn more about the profession. Here's a link to the program web site:

http://www.lvc.edu/academics/summer-community-programming/actuarial-science-camp/

Because of Covid, we're running this year's camp remotely and reducing the price from 950 to 600. However, we're preserving the vital aspects of the experience:

• students will work in teams and present their solutions to relevant problems;

• practicing actuaries will give real time presentations and work with students on mini-projects;

• RAs will facilitate co-curricular programming for students.

If you have any questions, contact the person listed below.

I hope you've had a great summer. I wanted to reach out again with information about our fall internship program for Joyce Craig's mayoral campaign. We had a really successful intern cohort this summer of 12 students from six high schools and universities, and look forward to a new group starting in the fall.

Interns work with campaign staff, voters, and volunteers to help build our grassroots campaign, and have the opportunity to learn about many aspects of political campaigns, including organizing, finance, and communications.

As the school year starts up, please forward to students who would be interested. I'm happy to sign off on community service or career exploration forms for them, the internship suits both. Our application is at bit.ly/JCInternship and I've attached a job description and flyer. Thank you for passing on!

Thank you,
