Whitney Edwards Welcomes Project
Lead the Way® Intern Corey Greenhawk
Partnering with Talbot County Public Schools, Whitney Edwards is providing a temporary home for high school senior Corey Greenhawk. Corey is interning with us through Project Lead the Way®, a nonprofit organization whose program prepares an increasing and more diverse group of students for success in engineering and engineering technology fields.
Corey’s a computer whiz-kid whose skills are quickly becoming an invaluable asset to the Whitney Edwards team. By no means a typical high school student, his capabilites are far and above the average teenager. Whether HTML programming for the internet, or mastering the complexities of Photoshop, Corey eagerly grasps new concepts in a flash and blows through his assignments like a hurricane. And he’s not just a brain either; his keen sense of humor and warm, friendly personality are a delightful compliment to his technical talents.

Charlene Edwards couldn’t be happier with our new intern and wholeheartedly supports the Project Lead the Way® goals. “We’re not only honored to be a partner in this significant educational effort, we’re enjoying additional benefits from it as well. Corey’s been such a significant supplement to our staff, I’m not sure how we’ll get along without him when he has to leave us.”
In the meantime, we’re doing our best to make Corey’s workplace experience a dynamic one for him and a rewarding one for us.

Whitney Edwards hosted two young artists for a fun day of work sponsored by the local public schools. Sisters Ta'Lisha Dodd (11 yrs) and Alicia Dodd (10 yrs) joined their mentor and Whitney Edwards employee, Debbie Collison to see what really goes on in a busy graphic design studio.
The girls tackled their own design projects. Armed with posterboard, markers, photos and stencils, they chose a theme and set about to create what turned out to be some pretty awesome artwork. Ta'Lisha’s Having a Good Time features her favorite things to do, while Alicia’s My Day at Work focused more on workplace activities. Art Director Charlene Edwards proclaimed them very talented young women with bright futures in the art industry.
Ta’Lisha, Alicia and Debbie know each other through Talbot Mentors, a nonprofit organization that matches caring adults with kids who can use a friend. Our young proteges made a few more adult friends during their creative and productive workday at Whitney Edwards.
