Trinity Logistics - Virtual Group Project with Marketing students January to May, 2021

Jessica Jenney, the Marketing educator, coordinated the group project to dedicate time for student research and meetings with the Trinity mentors every two weeks. Their final presentation was made to a group of Trinity professionals, DOWBL, and Seaford High School staff.

- Two of Nemours Clinical Psychologists mentored 5 students in Public Health pathway. Samantha Allen, the Public and Community Health educator, arranged for weekly meetings between the students and the mentors throughout the month of May. Each student selected an area of mental health as their project focus (e.g. General Anxiety Disorder, Autism, Substance Abuse, Dissociative Identity Disorder, etc.). On a weekly basis, the mentors provided guidance to assist the students with their research and fine-tune their presentations. Allied Health teachers and CTE coordinators from other schools were invited to participate in the students' final presentation. Additionally, Nemours representatives, DOWBL, and Seaford staff attended the final session.
