DALE CARNEGIE GRADUATION 2022
February 16, 2022 – The Buc Days Port of Corpus Christi Leadership Program began back in December. Twenty students were chosen out of over 100 applications. They are all high school seniors and were chosen based on academic standing, extracurricular and community activities, and an interview and essay competition.
The Buccaneer Commission will graduate the Buc Days Leadership Program participants from Dale Carnegie Training this Saturday night. This dinner will celebrate the skills the students have developed after five customized Dale Carnegie Program sessions. The classes focused on developing personal relationships and public speaking.
The students will continue to use these skills as they attend community awareness, industry tours and service projects. Students will complete the Leadership Program on May 7, 2022.
