Lauren Murdock, Gift Implementation Intern from the University of Michigan

The Generation Project kicked off the 2010-2011 school year in a very exciting way -- all gifts were doubles thanks to JP Morgan Chase, creating twice as many classroom opportunities for students in-need.  With gifts catering to all academic subjects and extracurriculars, teachers have been eagerly combing The Generation Project's website to claim gifts.  

As a Gift Implementation intern, I have the unique responsibility of implementing all donor-designed opportunities in schools in our regions -- I am continually inspired by the exciting projects I share with teachers daily.  Through The University of Michigan's Net Impact organization, students at WEB DuBois High School in Detroit received a laptop and various software to assist in creating a Robotics Team.  Algebra got a lot more intense (and exciting!) this semester for Jessica Kelley's high school algebra classes -- she received numerous materia

ls including wipe boards for classroom activities and a number of interactive books and DVD’s; check out Jessica's gift page along with some of my other favorite gifts from this school year below:

Heading into the second half of the school year, the sky is the limit for what exciting educational experiences can be made possible -- it's all up to the creativity, passion, and generosity of The Generation Project's donors!   I look forward to sharing new educational opportunities, inciting more innovation, and being part of The Generation Project's launch to schools in New Orleans and San Francisco!

Cheers to 2011!
