Martin Lopez, Jared Terronez, and Jose Candelario, all members of the Quad Cities Alumni Network of Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, came and talked with West Liberty High School students today. The professional panel discussed choosing careers/majors, beneficial study habits, time management, extracurriculars, organizations, networking, scholarships, overcoming struggles, and money management. Their fraternity is Latino based and members of their network come from a variety of local universities and have all established themselves in their professions locally and are looking to give back to their communities. Thank you, Martin, Jared, and Jose!
