Mal Austin led a demo of Career Cruising on the library computers.  Two parents and two staff members participated in the demonstration.  The demo included:
* logging into the Career Cruising website and taking a sample career interest survey.
* creating a personal portfolio to be able to return to and continue exploring careers based on sample survey.

Mal Austin described how Career Cruising will be implemented at RIHS.  Mal demonstrated some of the features of the portfolio function, demonstrated the Advisor Homepage function, and described how the website will list schools that have programs that match potential careers identified to survey participants.
