Hello readers!\u00a0 My name is Alyson Yates, and I am a multimedia intern for OSU Extension Communications.\u00a0 I am a senior in the Oregon State University Agriculture and Natural Resource Program, where I am earning a bachelor\u2019s degree in agricultural sciences. This is my third year in the OSU Extension internship program.<\/p>\n

After spending the past two summers working in 4-H and agricultural research in my home of Lake County, I hoped to expand my view of Extension beyond the county level. \u00a0The Extension Communications internship was a fantastic opportunity for me to get involved in a new way, by contributing my skills in photography and video to further the mission of Extension through outreach and engagement.\u00a0 Additionally, I saw the Extension Communications internship as a valuable way to gain digital media experience and further develop my professional portfolio.<\/p>\n

I began my internship eight weeks ago, setting out with my camera in hand to document the work of Extension professionals and their impact on Oregon\u2019s communities.\u00a0 One of my goals is to capture the diversity of Extension\u2019s programming\u2014 through 4-H youth development, agriculture, natural resources, family and community health, and more. \u00a0To accomplish this, I\u2019ve photographed youth camps, educational classes, field research, farmers markets, tours with local producers, and meetings with stakeholders.\u00a0 Along the way, I am also creating video interviews of Extension staff, interns, volunteers, and youth leaders answering the question, \u201cWhat does Extension mean to you?\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, my work has taken me to nine counties around the state, with many more yet to come.\u00a0 As I continue to learn about the many ways that Extension serves people in every corner of Oregon, I can\u2019t help but feel more excited about my journey to capture the mission of Extension!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
