SHSU Intern Makes Supervisor
Proud
Many Sam Houston State University students are doing internships
this summer. The supervisor of Courtney Johnson, a health
major from Kilgore, was especially pleased at the work she
did for the Montgomery County United Way.
“For one of her first assignments as an intern for Montgomery
County United Way, Courtney Johnson agreed to look for a wheelchair
for a gentleman in The Woodlands who could not afford to replace
his chair from the 1960s,” said Betty Campbell, information
and referral specialist and “Day of Caring” coordinator.
“In previous attempts, I had acquired one from a local
agency that was too small and another that was too large for
his doorways, but Courtney learned from my mistakes.”
After phoning the client for measurements, she called medical
supply companies until she found one who was willing to donate
a new chair.
“I feel her commitment and follow through on this project
deserve recognition,” Campbell said. “She has
improved the life of a very deserving and thankful individual.”
