SSMC’s Jim Mazurak participates in “Florida Engineers in the Classroom” presentations with local engineers. This is a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) program that visits 5th grade elementary schools to promote surveying and engineering career interest.
Jim also volunteers with Orlando Cares by participating in PathFinders as a Career Coach. He visits Orlando Middle Schools and speaks with students about careers in Surveying and Mapping. This summer, PathFinders was led by volunteers at Lee, Carver and Memorial Middle Schools, serving more than 250 students.
Excerpt from a Letter of Commendation from Mayor Buddy Dyer:
“Your dedication to these programs has truly made a significant impact in the lives of our children and youth. I hope you will continue to volunteer as we offer these enriching programs to more students. Through Orlando Cares, you are helping to improve the quality of life in our City by developing our most important resource...our youth.
Your gifts of your time and talent are sincerely appreciated.”
Jim enjoys talking with the kids about our profession. Good job, Jim!
