Photo of the Week 11/4/11

Last Friday we had Brett Carlsen talk about making money, but more specifically what he’s done to get work opportunities while still in school. He’s done a couple freelance jobs for The New York Times, as well as frequent assignments for Rochester’s Democrat and Chronicle. 

Congrats to Brett Carlsen and Jonathan Foster for taking first and second respectively in last week’s POTW.

The Occupy Rochester protestors were committed to keeping non-violent protest during the arrests, and Dewhirst compliantly removed his gloves to be handcuffed.
