COHORT update: focus shifts to local panels and field trips; intern position reconsidered
Summary
Carrie Shofner and Sandra Staples-Bortner reported that COHORT will focus locally on community, economy, and heritage, forming panels for community presentations; the committee decided not to pursue a distant student intern and to use funds for local field trips while exploring a fellowship.
Carrie Shofner and Sandra Staples-Bortner provided an update on the Coastal Hazards Organizational Resilience Team (COHORT). They said the project will emphasize local community, economy, and heritage concerns and will create a panel of local stakeholders to inform community presentations rather than rely on a single topic selector.
The committee discussed a change in the proposed student intern model: members found it difficult to recruit someone willing to travel or relocate for the work, so the committee shifted the planned intern funds to support local field trips. Shofner and Staples-Bortner also reported learning of a fellowship opportunity that could help recruit graduates to assist with the coastal resiliency project.
