Last year, Taylor Johnson participated for the first time in South Side charter high school EPIC Academy's "Learning Intensive" - where students have direct exposure to a variety of private sector businesses. It was so much fun the first time around that we recently hosted another class at our office to talk to students about going to college, different career paths and working in PR. The kids were attentive and curious, absorbing every word and asking great questions.  For photos from EPIC Academy's day at TJ, see our Facebook page here.
