For the past three years, I’ve been working with JDRF  New England Chapter send students to their annual spring researchb briefing.  They record audio or video of the speakers, and post it online. It’s a great opportunity for students to work with a local organization and get experience interacting with multimedia. And they do a wonderful service by making these presentations available online to those who would otherwise not be able to attend their event.

Lauren Shields, public outreach manager,  is coming back today to meet with this year’s team of students who will be assisting in this project. Last year, I was honored with a volunteer award by the JDRF, and the Bentley Observer covered the story.
