What can interns do? Anything! Last semester, four amazing University of Mary Washington students—Kyra Donlon, MacKenzie Martin, Killian Petty, and Lexi St. John—joined me on a journey to create a coloring book to inspire children to explore careers in our community. For months, these emerging professionals collaborated to research, develop, illustrate, and refine this Career Coloring and Activity Book and I could not be more proud! Thanks to all of their hard work, we are now able to share this resource in digital and print formats with schools and libraries throughout GO Virginia Region 6. I am grateful to the Virginia Talent + Opportunity Partnership for the funding that made it possible to pay our talented students for their creation.
