Reggie Hanson has defeated numerous opponents during his basketball career. Louisville s Pleasure Ridge Park in the 1986 Sweet 16. College basketball powerhouses like Kansas and Indiana. Even a number of NBA teams â including a New Jersey Nets squad coached by one John Calipari.
But one more recent challenge to come along has posed maybe the biggest threat â the Internet Age.
SPEDA intern Shelbie Black is a Pulaski County High graduate.
Earning a summer internship is a huge score for any graduating senior. But finding one that allows you to make your community a better place can be a game-changer.
Shelbie Black understood that immediately when a school professional sent her information about an internship opportunity with the Somerset-Pulaski Economic Development Authority (SPEDA). I started looking through SPEDA s website and Facebook, and it was quickly obvious that SPEDA was out there advocating for this community and making it a place that I want to live, Black said. When I started learning more about SPEDA it became abundantly clear that there was no way I d rather spend my summer. Of course, with any internship, learning from experienced professionals is one of the greatest perks, but what makes working with SPEDA unique is getting to be a small part of my community s strongest advocate and change maker.
