Day 6

Day six with the legal team has probably been one of the most interesting so far. Immediately upon arriving in the morning we met and followed Kelly Perry, an attorney for SAS, to the T building café to grab coffee and snacks. She then led us back to her office where we discussed her job and career. Mrs. Perry’s job seems to have had the most relation to international business so far in George and I’s rotation. She used to travel around the world, but now since having kids she communicates with the other SAS branches in countries all across the world. She can speak Spanish well, so she finds ways to incorporate that into her job as well. Kelly introduced us to Janie and Debbie, two other attorneys, who let us sit in on one of their meetings together. After that meeting we went to grab lunch and took our food to a meeting with others from the legal department. This meeting was different in the sense that it was for a fun video they were making for a colleague who would be out the office for a while. It was definitely interesting to see this side of the legal team, a group in which most would assume is quite serious all the time. After that meeting George and I headed down to another building to watch a lecture on how SAS data and analytics can help others in need. We met up with a few other fellow Cary Academy students, but the rest of the people there were kids from the sales academy. It was a really interesting topic concerning mostly natural disasters and how to analyze data in order to help quickly and efficiently. George and I navigated our way back to building T with ease and then met Melanie Thomas who was a former SBI agent, so she had some very interesting stories to tell us! Our last stop in the legal department was to Don’s office. He talked less about legal and gave us more advice about how we can do anything we want. It was definitely a good end to a good day!
