Today is the last day for our 2024 cohort of The Golden LEAF Foundation Rural Internship Initiative participants! The Rural Internship Initiative offers Golden LEAF Scholars the #opportunity to gain valuable work experience related to their #careers. This summer, 60 Golden LEAF Scholars participated in the third cohort of the Rural Internship Initiative. Summer 2024 interns were spread throughout 35 different rural counties working within fields such as health care, human services, government, engineering, and education. They've conquered the summer, gaining invaluable experience and fresh perspectives. Their rural roots are a source of strength, not limitation. We are so proud of our scholars and look forward to their bright futures and the growth of our internship program. To learn more about the Rural Internship Initiative, check out this article on Lyric Locklear of Robeson County---- a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Lyric is majoring in #Psychology, and planning to continue her education in osteopathic medicine. This summer, Lyric participated for a third year in the Golden LEAF Rural Internship Initiative, helping to fill a need at Locklear’s Behavioral Health Services, PLLC, while solidifying that she wants to continue her pathway forward to living, working, and serving rural communities in the future. Locklear Behavior Health Services, PLLC, located in Lumberton, is owned and operated by Golden LEAF Scholar alumna, Jana-Rae Locklear. #summerinternship #ruralcareers #scholarship https://lnkd.in/gQrKkQhM

On Monday, my colleague Savannah Russell, and I enjoyed a very informative meeting with Dr. Jack N. Bagwell and members of his team at College of The Albemarle. I am pleased to report no realistic patient simulators perished on me during this visit! That maybe because I did not get near them this time. The Golden LEAF Foundation @ncLEAFchief
