Youth at work
The Student Technology Assistance Center (STAC) stimulated young minds by participating in WSU's Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. In the STAC, the young women and men participate in mock job interviews in which they discuss their skills and talents and ideal careers. The interviews are videotaped and edited by the participants and the digital videos are burned to a CD to share with family and friends.
