Ashley Wernett creates page for LHU website

LOCK HAVEN, PA (06/11/2012)(readMedia)-- Lock Haven University students learned how to make a difference in the lives of many individuals this spring semester. Dr. Marlene Jensen's Internet Marketing class created webpages to showcase LHU students making a difference.

One of the students involved in the marketing project was Jim Thorpe resident Ashley Wernett. Ashley worked with Jeffrey Woodruff and Zachary Graybill to create a page about LHU students working on The Water Quality Project. These LHU students worked alongside Dr. Khalequzzaman, a hydro geologist, to research samples of water in order to study the water quality throughout Pennsylvania.

Dr. Marlene Jensen, Assistant Professor Marketing and Entrepreneurship, started this as a project for her Internet Marketing students. According to Dr. Jensen, "LHU's internet marketing students were inspired by the activities of the students they interviewed. And they were delighted their marketing skills could be used to promote such great activities!"

One of the "making a difference" web pages showcases students working on an Anti- Bullying campaign within the community. Other sites focus on involvement in an art and science program, a program working with disabled children, and an Upward Bound program. Working on their webpage designs, Dr. Jensen's students learned more about student involvement and developed their interviewing and web skills.
