Trinity Fellows Program Director Carole Ferrara dropped by #loweclass on Monday afternoon. We were lucky enough to interview her about her work with Trinity.
Each semester Professor Lowe’s Journalism 2100 class works together on a project. Last semester the class created a digital story about the Educational Opportunity Program. This semester the project will be about the Trinity Fellows Program led by Ferrara. Ferrara spoke enthusiastically about the program. Lauren Brown, a health studies minor from Indianapolis commented that she was struck by Ferrara’s “quiet confidence” and her belief in the program. Before the interview with Ferrara it was difficult to find information about her online. The website is dedicated entirely to information about the students and the program. After she left Professor Lowe commented that Ferrara has deliberately left herself out of the website. Ferrara’s focus is very much on the students and what they are doing in the community. This display of humility is impressive as Ferrara is responsible for so much of the work done by Trinity. This project has loads of potential because of the variety of work done by the students. The vast array of agencies working with Trinity will allow us to create unique stories within the website. Jack Goods, a marketing minor from Buffalo was excited to work on data visualization. He heard her talk about a few details with numbers and already imagined where the class could take that information. I am ecstatic to find out who my subject will be. Our class seemed energized by Ferrara’s words yesterday.
