5 Local Sources

Source 1

Mary Earp is the Veterans Coordinator for the University of Oregon. She handles all the VA benefits for veterans here at the University. She relates to my topic because she helps veterans on a daily basis deal with the VA. Without her assistance it would be hard for veterans to go to school. I would like to do my Q&A with her.

Source 2

Gretchen Jewett is the director of Nontraditional and Veteran Education Support. She relates to my topic in many ways. She not only helps veterans transition to college life. She also helps them with scholarships and other things that veterans might not know about on campus. She is also a great source for meeting other veterans on campus. I want to do my video on her.

Source 3

Kelly B Hickman is the Veterans Program Director. She is related to my topic because she is the person in charge of the programs for veterans on campus. She is vital to their existence and operation. I will like to do my audio slide show with her.

Source 4

A great source is University of Oregon Veterans and Family Student Association. I will be using this organization to help me find a veteran to do my turn around piece on. Also a backup plan for my Q&A will be someone in this office. The members of this office are all former military so they can help me a lot. This is the group that I will focus on the most. Most if not all my projects will be done on someone in the group or related to it.

Source 5

This source is not local but I will be able to reach him at all times. His name is Joseph Mejias he is currently a Marine Corps Drill instructor at Marine Corps base Paris Island, North Carolina. I will only use him for quotes and some insight about how military life is at the present moment. He will be able to give details about how recruits come in and how they leave boot camp.
