Career ConneXions Josh Holtman ’20 spent a day shadowing Dr. John R. Corker ’03 this fall as part of St. X’s Career ConneXions program. Dr. Corker is a physician at Emergency Medicine Specialists. “I had a great time and I learned a lot about the medical field,” Josh said. Job-shadowing is just one component of the program, now in its third year. Career ConneXions guides students in their college and career choices. Student interest is growing, especially for summer internships. If you or someone you know is interested in sponsoring an intern or job-shadow in medicine, business, or other fields, visit the program’s web site, www.stxavier.org/academics/careerconnexions.
Matthew DeBrunner ’18 My internship was a big success. It had a large diverse amount of opportunities for me to pursue.
RJ Myers ’20 Through Career ConneXions, I was able to shadow with a surgical oncologist in Northern Kentucky at the St. Elizabeth Health Care Center. I witnessed four surgeries and got to scrub in for two of them. It was a great day and really confirmed my love and passion for medicine. Through the Career ConneXions I was able to see that medicine is the right path for me.
Dawson Adams ’19 Over the summer I was able to intern with a commercial interior design company called Loth. I was tasked with being their first ever marketing intern and I worked with competitive analysis dealing with other companies in the Cincinnati area. I specifically worked on a video campaign to help show their culture. Overall the internship was a great experience and thanks to Career ConneXions it was definitely one I will carry with me into my college years.

Bobby McAlpine ’20 Last summer I interned at a construction and engineering firm called Bansal Construction. I was a project manager. What I gained most of all was not only the experience of being in corporate America, but also seeing the advantage of being a product of St. Xavier High School. The leaders of the company were St. Xavier graduates, Men for Others. The graduates of St. X were leaders in their workplace, they set the tone.
