WSU Sociology Students at Work for You!

Sociology 433, an undergraduate class at Washington State University, has been researching options and resources for topics that are important to your rural communities as you work to reduce poverty. Topics include: affordable housing, neighborhood safety, youth activities and much, much more.

Your community may be in contact with one of these teams, but all of their research may be relevant to the issues you are addressing. Click to the Horizons website http://www.horizons.wsu.edu/project/horizons3/community.html to read about their work.

Rochester Basic Computer Literacy for Adults

The plan for the “Basic Computer Literacy” for adults to help people in poverty become more employable is being finalized. The initial student will be a client of Washington State Labor & Industries who is being re-trained for other employment. It is anticipated this initial class will begin the first week of July.

The “Basic Computer Literacy” course will include instruction on basic computer, Internet use, word processing and spreadsheets. Each of these four sections will be broken down into short 2-hour modules of learning for a total of twenty-one sessions.
