Beaver Island Michigan

All and sundry are cordially invited to a welcome event for the Island Fellow candidate at the Community Center June 13th between 10 and 11 a.m. Come out and meet Stefanie, who comes to us from Maine, and has education and experience in the communications and environmental writing fields. She has held a Communications Internship at Hurricane Island Center for Science and Leadership, where she taught environmental writing, assisted with hands-on science programs, and did social media work. Stefanie also has a background in photojournalism and video production with Veggies for All, a nonprofit food-bank farm in Maine. She also managed social media for the organization, and got her hands dirty in the fields planting and tending crops.

In related news, the Island Instituteâ??s Island Fellows Program recently received a national award for the Outstanding Program of the Year from the Community Development Society. This is a phenomenal program, and one which we are excited to be bringing to Beaver Island!

Does Stephanie have a last name?

Indeed she does, Adam, but I thought it was most appropriate to keep that private, at least until she is here for the visit. Less than a week now! Thanks for your interest.

Caroline Moore from Community Development at the Island Institute will be accompanying Stefanie. We hope you can join us from 10-11 a.m. on Tuesday at the Community Center to meet the finalist for the Island Fellow Communication position and Caroline.
