  Testimony from Student Receiving Services from Career Planning and Placement  
  
  "The service that has been rendered to me from the Career Planning and Placement has been a wonderful experience. I have been in the same internship since Fall 2007 working as a Clerk Recorder at Everglades Partner Joint Venture. The staff in this department has always demonstrated a professional demeanor, great customer service and a very high level of integrity. Ms. Harris and Mrs. Britt encourage me and have always had my best interest at heart. My determination in finding an internship has been supported by their determination to find me an internship. I will always appreciate the service that has been provided to me by Mrs. Britt and Ms. Harris.” – Clarissa Sales, Class of 2010
