Myself and my research partner, Emma Martens, will be happy to answer any questions you may have about this presentation and our work to collect oral histories of national service leaders. We hope you enjoy listening to our presentation!
Incredible presentation. You both worked so hard this year and it has truly paid off.
Thank you so much, Rachael! This project has been an absolute joy to work on.
Excellent presentation. There's so much great information, I watched the video at least four times and took notes to make sure I got it all. I appreciate the organization of the main points and subpoints, this helped reinforce and guide my understanding. It was also helpful to see you while you presented, the tone complemented the style of an ongoing study. Words such as "legacy," "create," "sustainable," "direct and unfiltered," etc., grabbed my attention. The points made during the "Discussion & Implications" slide were great; they showed what the future of your study looked like and how it would contribute on a broader level.
Thank you so much for this incredible comment Maureen! I am glad that you were so interested in our project and were able to learn a lot from our presentation about the work that is being done and will continue to happen for semesters to come.
This is such an incredible research project! As a current intern with the Corporation for National and Community Service, I have definitely seem many similar themes come up in my discussions with co-workers and national service leaders at the organization. You both have worked to develop thorough research methods that adequately capture the depth of information and allow for it to be sustainable. So excited to hopefully get to contribute to this project when I am in FFF next semester. Again, awesome work you two!
Hi Shannon! Thank you so much for your comment. I am glad to hear that other students at GW are engaging with the CNCS is a variety of ways. I hope next year you are able to bring your unique insights to help grow this project!
I am impressed by the excellent distillation and synthesis of information. There is a lot of info and you have made It clear.
Thank you so much Amy! It's great to hear you found the way we synthesized the information to be clear. There is so much to say about the project, that what we were able to include in this presentation really only scratches the surface of what there is to share.
I learned so much from watching this presentation-such a valuable research resource-have you considered publishing this in a journal? I think many in the field would be interesting in learning more about this work.
It is wonderful to hear that our presentation was informative, Rachel! While we have not considered publishing our research at this time, you never know what the future might hold. Nevertheless I hope our research can still be shared with those interested in learning more!
