The spring semester just ended, and the students are all off to enjoy a much-needed summer break. I’m very proud of the CIP students. They worked very hard this semester with their internships. A lot of our students have improved in different areas they needed to work on since the beginning of the spring semester. There has been a tremendous amount of progress.
Wellness Highlights from Brevard
By Jamie Kennedy, CIP Brevard Center
Summer is in full swing at the Brevard Center! Despite the recent jungle-like heat in the south our students are showing greater Wellness awareness and application than ever before! Some of the healthy happenings around Brevard are: inception of a new cooking curriculum, more dynamic and personalized group sessions catered around individual skill-set, planning and training for our next 5k road race, and applying exercise and cooking cards in daily program areas to increase and improve speed, technique, and processing.

Thank you CIP for the wonderful opportunity, it has been a privilege. I appreciate all the help I’ve had from my tutors Marissa, Nikki and Bethany. They helped me a lot, especially during my second semester. I took a childcare course this spring and it went well. So thank you for the help and encouragement you gave me.
