Rural Reimagined (RR) is excited to announce and welcome Alex McDonald to The Center for Rural Innovation (TCRI) team. Alex is a graduate student working towards a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She assists TCRI with inferential statistics and evaluates the impact of community economic interventions within our service region. Regarding her internship, Alex says, “I am excited to be a part of a team working to help communities and to have the opportunity to put all my stats knowledge into practice. I’m grateful for the opportunity to get to work with this department and learn more about economic development.” Rural communities will always benefit from the meaningful contributions from various occupational and vocational fields. Like Alex, Rural Reimagined encourages other students to partner with us as we serve our rural communities in valuable and unique ways. Thank you, Alex! Wings up!
