Career Shadow Day provides young people the opportunity to shadow Rotarians performing their daily work in their professional environment. Students are chosen from Edmond Memorial, Edmond North and Edmond Santa Fe. 

Rotarians invited approximately 30 students to observe them in their workplace allowing them the opportunity to explore specific careers and get a realistic picture of the tasks performed for that job.  Professions included City Government, Optometry, Dentistry, Real Estate Development, Manufacturing, the City of Edmond Police and Fire Departments, Mortgage and Banking, Photography, School Administration, Oklahoma State Government and the Edmond Economic Development Authority.  Special medical partners were Mercy on I-35.  Board Members, Keith May and Andy Melvin as well as Club Member Tim Richardson coordinated the event.
