This is a great opportunity for students to share their preliminary thesis or dissertation work, or insights gained in rural community internships. For this issue we have two brief reports. The first Brief Report is a student co-authored example from Erika Jang, an undergraduate majoring in Family Relations, in the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at the University of Hawai`i. Erika is completing her junior year internship (one semester) in our Rural Health Initiatives program. She will be contacting Rural Interest Group members via email in the upcoming 2-3 months to inquire about your rural community psychology activities, and will be asking if you would like to contribute to this column. Erika participated in a SAMHSA webinar recently, which prompted our brief report below.

The second brief report is from Professor Pamela Mulder of Marshall University in West Virginia where she has served as the senior editor of the Journal of Rural Community Psychology. She is passing the baton to a new editor, Associate Professor Keelon Hinton, also of Marshall University. On behalf of the Rural Interest Group – welcome aboard Keelon and a big mahalo (thank you) to Pam!

As JRCP moves forward, please consider volunteering to serve as a reviewer and to fill vacancies on the Editorial Board of the journal.
