Lost and found: Meet the 2024-2025 JOIP interns
In 2024, the MLP partnered with University of Montevallo undergraduates Damian McCrickard and Bridget McCurrach through the Jean O’Connor-Snyder Internship Program. For their first project, the interns were challenged to interview and write about one another, using a multimedia format that incorporated photos, audio, and transcripts. This creative exercise allowed them to bring their work to life through exploring the art of digital storytelling.
