Students chose from the following career-related sessions:

• Nebraska Public Power District
• Military Careers
• Occupational Therapy
• Nursing
• Biology and Math
• Law Enforcement
• Mortuary Science
• Law/Paralegal
• Business Administration
• Auto Mechanic
• Health Career Opportunities - Field trip to Community Medical Center

Talking to the Wayne State College representative are seniors Jamie Schwarting and Amy Dunn.

After a "Food on the Front Lawn" lunch, all students attended a Student Success Seminar and an Entreprenuership Seminar. Juniors and seniors also toured the College Fair held in the large gym.

College Access Day was funded by an Education Quest grant received by Falls City High School four years ago. This was the fourth career day paid for with grant funds.
