I received the following message recently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hello, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My name is Bianca Sarai Orejel and I am the organizer of the Kelly Fowler for Delegate campaign. I wanted to reach out because we are currently looking for fellows to join our team. As you may know, Kelly Fowler is an alumni from Old Dominion and is currently running for re-election. This would be an amazing opportunity for students to get first-hand experience of campaigns and how they work. Attached I have a flyer with more information, please share this opportunity with your students. Thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
