New Interns are on the Job!

The marketing department is blessed with two new interns in our midst.

Amy Rathke joined us about two weeks ago. Amy is serving for the next six months as our publications intern. Amy just graduated from Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. More importantly though she is a NOLS spring Semester in Baja grad from 2003. Amy is doing some writing for the Leader, will be a correspondent here on the “What’s the Buzz” blog and is helping with editing on the 2006 catalog.

Kathryn Bailey just joined us yesterday. Kathryn is our NOLS marketing intern. She will be getting out press releases, working with the alumni rep program and helping with the various NOLS Bus-related projects. Kathryn graduated a few weeks ago from the University of Richmond. Like Amy, Kathryn graduated in 2003 from a NOLS spring Semester in Baja. They weren’t on the same course, but we did figure out yesterday that they had met one another while at the NOLS Mexico facility.

Sam Stevenson continues cruising along with his web internship. He is working primarliy on the NOLS intranet site, Rendezvous. There has been exciting progress made on this project in the last week.

Thanks to our interns for coming in and cranking out very valuable work.
