Marketing & Development

    Yesterday, I had the pleasure of having a conversation with Bianca D. Chandler, the Marketing & Development Director of the LRCE. Together, on the phone and with the help of the screen-share feature on Microsoft Teams, we went over the newsletter I've been working on using Canva.com. Also, I had the opportunity to ask many questions.     The biggest problems with my newsletter is that the information is presented in an odd order, with valuable information being saved for last and unimportant information presented right away. Another problem is that the text is too cluttered, and needs to be spread out.

As for the font, it was incorrect according to the LRCE's graphic design standards, but, since Canva.com didn't have those fonts available, this mistake was permitted for the time being.

Last Day

    I find it hard to believe that today is my last internship, but that doesn't mean my experience is over. I have learned a lot over my summer semester, and I fully intend on applying what I learned to professional environments. Any future supervisors will be happy to learn of my experience in not only content organization, but in creation and dissemination. My only regrets are this internship are that I did not have time to learn about how to manage call numbers, or to speak with members of the LRCE's administration, but I'll be sure to do those things when the opportunity arises, which I'm sure will be soon. My advice to future interns is to not be afraid to ask any questions that may arise, and to always be on the look out for further opportunities; by not only adhering to their present tasks, but by going beyond the call of duty, interns can come across unexpected, but helpful lessons.

The Giver

    The Giver , first published in 1993, is an example of YA dystopian fiction and a long enduring young adult classic that is required reading in many schools. It tells the story of Jonas, a boy who lives in an isolated society where emotion is suppressed, who becomes apprenticed to an elder known as the 'Giver' who is able to transmit memories of the past to Jonas. Through these memories, Jonas learns about strong emotions such as love and hate, and the dysfunctional nature of the society in which he lives. The Giver and Jonas decide that the only way to fix matters is for him to run away, so that the memories will return to the people of the community. However, matters are never so simple...     The Giver provides all the hallmarks of YA dystopian fiction: a young person being selected for a special role, the dawning realization of the world around them that brings the protagonist in conflict with authority figures, and feelings of loneliness and isolation. Howe...
