Roadtrip Nation
Roadtrip Nation is a career exploration program started
by a group of college friends who decided to hit the road
- in a large, green RV - to talk with inspirational leaders
across the country about the secret to their success. It
has since spawned an annual PBS series of the same name,
as well as a nation-wide student movement, to help students
find their passion in life, no matter what road they choose.
Stop by the the Career Center to view these interviews
on the Roadtrip Nation computer
workstation.
