Date

02 Nov 2021

VZ recruitment: one candidate sent. Have only gotten 4 applicants for the analytical role, none for the communications role. Might need to make another push for January start.
- Communications has regularly been one of the harder areas for us to recruit
How are people finding internships?
- Word of mouth from prior/current interns
- University internship portal
- LinkedIn
What is the actual end date for the current interns? Melissa thinks 12/31/21 but will confirm funding
- Need to talk to managers about spring continuations
Set up an intern program brainstorm about program design overall - identify issues, opportunities, work to better integrate tracking, etc.
Start preparing for summer call for internships (brownbags in Dec and/or Jan)

Progress on the new contract - will keep an eye on timing to ensure spring tasks can get into place.
- Need to start thinking about spring/summer internship tasks - need tasks in place by 09 Dec 2021
Weekly meeting with Carol Gaskin is going well

STI - Can we find someone to coordinate as lead? Recheck if we can apply for funds in one year to use in another.
- Lead ideas: EID, ASD recruiting, ASD L&D, Community Engagement - convene meeting to introduce/discuss?
Need update on Tax Revenue and Telecommuting

Dr. Arhin to provide list of which professors he's sent the VZ postings to, so Stephanie can check if she has other local contacts to try. (e.g. Ralph Buehler at VT)
Melissa will confirm funding availability and intern end dates
kathleen.crabb talk to managers about interest in spring continuations for current interns
Stephanie Dock (Unlicensed) check that we link to the internships from our website and ask PIO to promote + reach out to our community engagement division to see if their networks would have candidates for comms role (and see if Linda has already done so)
