Shout out to Class of 2021 alum Daniel Rodriguez-Perez!

Senior business administration student Daniel Rodriguez Perez just completed his summer internship right here in Kansas City at H&R Block, the industry-shaping business entrepreneurs Henry Bloch and his brother, Richard Bloch, founded.

"I had an amazing opportunity to work alongside a district general manager in Kansas City. I also joined a cohort leadership group, where I took on the role of social chair. I learned many valuable lessons in time management, project management and communication."

The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) partners with members of the Kansas City construction industry to offer high school age girls an opportunity to learn in a hands-on FREE summer day camp the basic skills of carpentry, electrical, welding. Camp activities also include a field trip, tool demonstrations, and much more!

Journey level tradeswomen will lead the girls with instructors at various locations in safety, carpentry, concrete, painting, plumbing, electrical and welding skills during this free camp. By the end of this week, Campers will have several projects to take home with them and show off the skills they learned. We've got lots of pictures to share, so click through them or let the slideshow at the bottom of this page run on its own!
