Wikipedia:Education Working Group/Working Group Members

 Welcome About the Working Group Working Group Members Meetings Structure proposals Wikimedia Foundation Role FAQ RfC Strategic Plan 

We had a number of exceptional proposals about what the future of the Education Program Structure would be. Choosing members of the Working Group was extremely difficult, and we thank everyone who applied for the time they took to share their vision for the future of the program. We hope the Working Group members will carefully consider a number of important points raised in everyone's proposal. The Working Group Kick-Off Meeting will be held July 16–17, 2012, in Washington, D.C., immediately following Wikimania.

Jami Mathewson US/Canada Education Program Associate Wikimedia Foundation Jami Mathewson Briefly describe your current "day job" and what it entails on a daily basis. I help coordinate and strategically plan the future of the United States and Canada Education Programs. That often means collaborating with the community, mentoring Ambassadors and speaking with professors. If you had a bucket list of the top ten places in the world you wanted to see or do, what are your #1, #2 and #10 choices? 1. My current top spot goes out to visiting Rhode Island and Alaska, so I can finally knock out all 50 states. 2. Galapagos Islands (I want to hang with those tortoises!) 10. South Africa is probably somewhere in my top 10 places to visit. Where were you on January 28, 1986, and what do you remember about that day? I was almost an idea in my parents' head but was not yet on the planet for the Challenger disaster. Other than your Wikimedia movement involvement, have you ever volunteered your time and/or services to a non-profit enterprise? If so, what enterprise and approximately how many days or hours/year? I worked for my International Fraternity (Alpha Gamma Delta) for a year after serving for about 20 hours/week for four years in college. I've also served as a tutor to numerous underprivileged children and spent a lot of time with an organization that supports victims of domestic violence (which I unfortunately discovered is still a real threat to young women during that year as a consultant). If you edit Wikipedia, what are your favorite topics and why? What Wikipedia article are you most proud of? I've just begun making my first edits (mostly copyediting so far) within the last few months. I enjoy editing articles about the Atlanta Braves, but I've not yet started an article. What are your hobbies, leisure pursuits, etc.? When you are not working, what do you like to do most? I'm a pretty huge fan of travel and food. I don't know if you'd consider 'food' as a leisure pursuit, but I do. In fact, sometimes, it isn't even leisurely.
