JCHC Grad Assistant Blog: Summer
Hello,
It's been quite some time since I've posted anything of real substance on my blog. This doesn't mean that there hasn't been a lot going on at the JCHC, it just means that there has been so much going on with the organization and the wrapping up of my graduate classes for the semester that I have not been able to find the time to post any updates.
Lately, most of my time, I have been working on the "Historic Brookville" street markers in Photoshop. I basically have three signs done to be shown to the board: the Marlin Opera House Block, the New Jefferson House and Columbia Theatre, and the Sandt Service Station. I'm very pleased with the outcome of this project and look forward to the continued work on them in the time to come.
Other than that, I have been doing my normal, everyday duties of web upkeep, constantly updating our Facebook, Twitter, and website information. This has been a major focus of mine since I first started at the JCHC, and I try to take a little time each day to connect with members through our social media.
For me, the semester is coming to an end, and my assistantship with the JCHC is going to go on hold until next fall. Tomorrow will be my last regular day of work for this academic year, but I am very glad to volunteer my time to work on these projects (mainly the historic signage) from home this summer whenever I have free time while working as a summer member of AmeriCorps.
I will definitely try to stay up to date with this blog during the summer whenever I finish a project or update items on the web.
I'll be back in full swing in late August!
