Hello, this is\u00a0<\/span>Kanar\u00a0Shaiban.\u00a0<\/span>During my internship for the OSU Extension office in Jackson County, I\u2019ve prepared a report, gathered data and statistics, and explored the unmet housing needs in the Jackson County area. In addition, I engaged with various community partners to get the essential data and learn more about the community’s most vulnerable people. While creating my report, I learned how to use a \u201cSWOT\u201d analysis method \u2013 strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities \u2013 to emphasize the importance of assisting the community in developing a strategy that addresses the unmet housing needs by analyzing the county’s strengths and weaknesses and existing and implemented resources.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The report assisted in the development of strategic housing assistance recommendations for undocumented survivors\u00a0of the September 2020 wildfires in the area. After submitting the report, I started working on an executive summary, followed by a PowerPoint presentation that I will present to the community partners by the end of\u00a0my\u00a0internship.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before this internship, I was unfamiliar with OSU Extension Services. Soon after I began, I realized that Extension focuses on and strives to foster inclusivity and innovation. I also understood how critical it is to the community to recognize unmet needs, respond to issues, and implement appropriate methods and solutions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m appreciative that I had the opportunity to work with OSU Extension as it taught me how to be self-sufficient in my profession, collect data, and be creative by exploring practical solutions for those in need.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
