In the latest episode of Scholars Speak, we’re joined by Courtney Jurson, the 2014 Mitchell Scholar from Hodgdon Middle/High School, a Kinesiology graduate of the University of Maine, and, now, a full-time firefighter and paramedic with the Bangor Fire Department. Listen up as Jurson talks about how she came to a career in the fire service and EMS, some aspects of life as a firefighter and in the EMS that might surprise you, and how her engagement with the Mitchell Institute and its programs over the years has resulted in receiving so much more than a scholarship.
