Water Project Extern
Jason Hunt, Roanoke Valley student in the Information Technology degree program, is doing an externship with Instructor Bill Griffin at the Southeast Rural Community Assistance Project (RCAP). Southeast RCAP is a national network of non-profit organizations dedicated to helping small towns and communities upgrade their water and wastewater systems.
Bill and Matt Poole, the campus’s Chair of the Information Technology programs, worked together to line up this externship to give Jason hands-on experience before graduation. Using the Adobe Contributor software, he is helping to build Southeast RCAP's new web site. In addition to web site development, his main tasks include entering stories and articles about how RCAP is assisting people in need. Bill said that Jason is very knowledgeable and is doing excellent work. He also noted that Jason is very personable and gets along well with everyone.
Jason has enjoys his experience and had this to say: "Any time you work for a non-profit you get that sense of fulfillment, and this is one of the greatest organizations that I know of in terms of giving back to our citizens. Also, the people at Southeast RCAP are some of the greatest people I've had the pleasure of working with."
