As part of her Writing 410 Proposal & Grant Writing class, Dr. Amber Lancaster tasked her students with partnering with professional clients to pursue funding for a number of community projects. The result of two of those projects amounted to $9,500 in grant funding awarded to the Klamath Falls Blue Zones Project. Mindy Miranda, a Communication major and employee in Financial Aid, worked on the Moore Park playground project, which resulted in Blue Zones receiving an award of $2,500 that will purchase a piece of equipment for the playground. Adam Lindgren, an Electrical Engineering major, worked on the pedlet project to create convertible outdoor spaces for downtown businesses to provide more seating for customers. His grant proposal helped Blue Zones Project identify a funding source and receive an award of $7,000. Thank you to Mindy and Adam for helping Klamath Falls thrive!
