UNH Cooperative Extension seeks student writers

The UNH Cooperative Extension is seeking student writers. Students may be able to get credit for English 620 Applied Experience. Students would be asked to do the following:
Write stories about UNH Cooperative Extension’s impact with its clients, “success” stories showing how Extension worked with the client, and the end result or value of working with Extension
Write stories focused on the philanthropic needs of UNH Cooperative Extension – the Extension is embarking on fundraising, in coordination with the UNH Foundation, and the Extension specialists tasked with this effort need one-page “fact” sheets that relate to how Extension would use private donations.
Interview clients throughout the state, attending twilight and other meetings that show how Extension’s field specialists work with their clients.
Any “breaking” news such as how the Extension can provide information on the West Nile Virus, ticks, food safety, etc., that would be sent to statewide media.
 UNH Cooperative Extension would provide transportation costs, and/or the possibility of using the ZIP cars for transportation.
 Hours: Whatever works into the schedule of these students. Students would have to work at least four hours a week for the whole semester to earn one credit for English 620.
 Anyone interested should contact Prof. Lisa Miller, lc.miller@unh.edu.
