What an awesome day for our Culinary, Sports Medicine, and Health Science classes! We had two amazing guest speakers - Sergeant Garrison and Sergeant Hill - who shared their experiences serving in the Army. Sergeant Hill gave us a firsthand look at what it's like to be a medic in the military compared to working in civilian healthcare. Plus, students got to check out (and taste!) real MREs - Meals Ready to Eat - just like soldiers eat in the field! Huge thanks to Sergeant Garrison and Sergeant Hill for an unforgettable visit!
