Corvallis Students Inspired and Explore Career Possibilities at the Annual Career Day

In the morning Corvallis students were challenged by Clay Egan to overcome obstacles and pursue their dreams. After being paralyzed in a motorcycle accident, Clay began competing professionally in the extreme sport of rock crawling and rock racing. He is the first and only quadriplegic in the world to compete in these sports.

Then in the afternoon, students attended presentations given by community members in a variety of professions, including ...
