Over the summer I was invited on a trip to Williamson WV for an outreach opportunity for the university. We had to make a video about the town in an attempt to secure funding to continue rural health initiatives. I was a major creator of the video with the skills you taught, and we successfully secured 25k dollars per year in funding. So thank you!
