CHAH students were greeted with breakfast and listened to a presentation about the role Digitas NY plays as a global advertising and marketing firm. Students asked questions about how to get into marketing and advertising, got some help with their resumes, and learned about the importance of online marketing and how data is used to make strategic decisions.

This past week, CHAH students worked with financial lawyers from Citi Bank through a program called Junior Achievement. The finance folks taught the kids about proper budgeting, the differences between good and bad debt, and how to create and manage savings and checking accounts. Important life skills for the 21st Century!
