Presentation #1 Title
Sharing Stories of Reinvention and Reinvestment in the Local
Presentation #1 Abstract
This graphical presentation represents the local of Huntington, West Virginia in an inspiring and visual way. It focuses on various success stories that have been collected in the form of an interview, from past and present Marshall University students, and from people of the community of Huntington, West Virginia. This project displays a vital piece in the SAS 2016 conferences theme, the local. These stories show the community how we can serve the local, and each other, in this call for action. They also stand as inspiration to the community, showing that it is possible to push the tack back on the map, with hard work, innovative ideas, and the people united. These stories will be displayed on a monitor and each story will have their own respective physical poster, consisting of a short paragraph about the interviewee’s story/project, accompanied by pictures of the person themselves, and of their physical project. These posters will then be given to the interviewees to keep at the end of the conference.

Her interests in Anthropology include Archaeology and Ethnography. She hopes to utilize each of these fields in whatever career she ends up doing. Jocelyn is anticipating presenting in the 2016 Southern Anthropological Societies conference in April.
