  • Bethany Kelsey Begins Internship with Rural Reimagined 

    Bethany Kelsey Begins Internship with Rural Reimagined 

    Rural Reimagined (RR) is excited to welcome our newest academic intern Bethany Kelsey for the Spring 2023 semester. Bethany is a senior here at Tennessee Tech studying Professional and Technical Communication (PTC) that is graduating in December. When asked why she selected Rural Reimagined, Bethany said that helping others is essential to her “because it [RR] consistently goes above and beyond expectations to improve rural living by leveraging science, technology, and entrepreneurship.” Bethany hopes to assist and support businesses and entrepreneurs in the surrounding rural communities by applying her “understanding of technical communication and professional development while gaining knowledge and skills thanks to the connections made possible by this internship.” We encourage other students to get involved with their rural community! If you’re interested in working with Rural Reimagined, contact us via this link: https://www.tntech.edu/grand-challenge/form.php. Wings up!
