The Hellenic College sophomore class was invited to dinner
and a talk by the Office of Vocation & Ministry for the annual Sophomore Dinner
on Thursday, February 7, 2013. HCHC Director of Institutional Advancement Fr. Jim
Katinas teamed up with his daughter Catherine, a Hellenic College senior, to
give a ‘down to earth’ career services presentation based in large part on the
research and methodology of career expert Richard N. Bolles in his book What Color is Your Parachute? Fr. Jim tied in personal examples of
how he initially used this excellent resource to discern a career in financial
consulting, and his presentation stimulated a variety of questions and
discussion. Catherine shared her experience interning for a renowned Boston-based laboratory, and how this guided her decision to pursue graduate studies after college. After an evening of intellectual nourishment and a gourmet
buffet, the Sophomore’s were serenaded by the soulful acoustic melodies of
local musician Annalise Emerick.
