Who are your 2 possible subjects and why?
Kim Lorence: Kim Lorenc is the head softball coach at the University of New England, and is also a mom of two young children. Her husband, Alex Lorenc is one of the assistant coaches for UNE so balancing their work life and home life can be difficult and sometimes their kids have to come to practice with them.
Susan McHugh: Professor Susan McHugh is a professor at the University of New England, and is also a tutor in the Student Academic Success Center. In her free time she also likes to travel across the globe to learn more about subjects she teaches in.
What is the angle or approach for each subject? What makes this interesting?
Kim Lorenc: There is a very positive angle to this story because it is showing how a mother of two can still maintain her job just as easily as anyone else can. The story is interesting because her husband is also a coach and her 3 year old son and not even 1 year old daughter have to come to practice and hangout with the girls on the team.
Susan McHugh: The approach I would take when describing Professor Susan McHugh would be to explain her backstory, and how she teaches so many different classes here, travels across the world, and still makes time for her students in the Student Academic Success Center.
