Meet our 2017 Interns!

We are so happy to welcome two interns from Shepherd University to ACFF this semester!  Both Maggie and Blair helped out at the 2016 Festival and did a fine job.  Fortunately for us, they seemed to enjoy their time learning about ACFF and sought internships for their final semester at Shepherd.  They are concentrating on communications and marketing, in accordance with their fields of study and interests.  Maggie is leading up the effort to start a special “Intern’s Blog” and Blair will be analyzing our social media efforts and outreach, among other things.

We hope you’ll follow their progress and congratulate and thank them if you see them!

Blair Cherelstein is a 22-year-old Shepherd University senior from Westminster, Maryland.  She has always loved movies and sports, specifically crime thrillers and soccer.  She has been a member of multiple choruses and acting groups.  Blair is a Mass Communications major and will graduate this spring.

 


Maggie Cohee Nevin is a 22-year-old Shepherd University senior from Martinsburg, West Virginia.
