Project REACH student, Sonja
Skalecki,
loves Canterbury!
Sonja writes, “We’re in the
Mirror World here. Everything is a little strange--it’s recognizable, but
wiser, warped by time. There are pubs that I
pass everyday that have been open longer
than the US has existed. Walking into the
great cathedral is like stepping back into
another time entirely. It’s breathtaking, and I
feel privileged to be here.”

Sadé Paigé had thé opportunity to intérn at a désign studio and havé thé chancé to work oné on oné with
thé désignér and léarn what it takés to own your own businéss. Using thé skills shé léarnéd in Construction I

his béautiful garménts. Thé world of fashion is not for thé faint of héart and Sadé télls us that shé “ran
around liké crazy” in NYC, hélping out with Daniél’s désigns. At a momént’s call, Sadé would run through
Manhattan picking up trimmings liké thréad and zippérs as garménts wéré finishéd! Shé hélpéd out at a
samplé salé whéré shé mét othér désignérs, all of which was éxciting and héctic, an éxpériéncé Sadé will
névér forgét. Nonstop activitiés and always busy, Sadé also was ablé to atténd thé prémiér of Daniél’s
Fashion Film, When Sunny Gets Blue www.daniélsilvérstéin.us/film/. Théré is no doubt that this intérnship
will opén many doors for our futuré fashion désignér, Sadé Paigé.

Project REACH is Proud of Adrian Sutherland!
We recently had the pleasure of catching up with Adrian Sutherland who graduated
with a degree in sport management in 2010. Adrian utilized many of Project REACH’s
services and what stands out the most to him, are the career counseling services and
his experience as a Peer Mentor. Adrian says, “For some the career mindset does not
kick in until their senior year, and at that point it’s a scramble. I encourage students to
get involved with any career-driven initiatives early because it makes career decisions
after college that much easier.”
Adrian supports Project REACH’s Peer Mentoring Program, “It is one of the best
programs on campus. The relationships that you develop with mentees last forever
and they look up to you as an example. It gives the mentee the understanding that you
can still be the cool kid but also have your priorities in order.”
Adrian is currently working in New York City with Mindshare, a global media agency.
He specializes in media planning and buying, as well as the development of crossplatform marketing programs with strong emphasis on digital advertising. He notes
that it is his volunteer work that he is most proud of. Specifically, his passion for
working with youth is being fulfilled by coaching a local basketball team. This allows him to teach children life skills through
sports. According to Adrian, “If we achieve this goal, they can become doctors, lawyers, musicians, or whatever their dreams
dictate because they have people supporting them.”
Although Adrian left Cazenovia over three years ago, it is clear that he is utilizing his college experiences and skills in many ways.
We congratulate him and are proud of Project REACH alumnus, Adrian Sutherland!
