Cover Story

EAST ISLIP CAREER ACADEMY: Environmental Green

On October 29, 2008, East Islip High School held its first Annual Career Academy Environment Green Fair.  This event took place in the lobby of the high school from 6:00-9:00 p.m.  Many of our Environment Green students volunteered their time and effort making this one of the most successful events.  They decorated the entire lobby in green, interviewed our sponsors who were delighted to be part of the ceremony, videotaped the event, and created their own flyers and brochures that were handed out to those in attendance.  Many community members stopped by to learn about the Environment Green Program and had an opportunity to meet and greet the sponsors.  Each sponsor had its own table which was stationed throughout the lobby.  The companies handed out literature explaining what they are doing to help the environment.   Students and parents had an opportunity to ask questions and to hear how Long Island businesses have been taking an active role in trying to save the environment.

BDO's Successful Intern Story - Joseph T. Scheriff, CPA , Manager

Our intern's name was Chris Demas and right now he's going to Bentley College in Mass.  He originally came to us through a program we have here at BDO over the summer for students and we ended up taking him on as an intern during our last busy season.  He was able to take off most of his semester from college and actually received college credit while he was working here as a paid intern.  So he was really able to benefit from it and so were we.  Everyone loved Chris and can't wait to see if he chooses to work here when he receives his offer but he seemed excited about it.  With a lot of students going away to school I know there are those who end up with jobs in those areas and never come back, but as long as we can continue to create opportunities for them here, then once they graduate they'll be back!  Hopefully we have a similar ending with our summer interns as well.
