The Auburn Reporter welcomes Rebecca Nelson, a summer intern who is studying journalism at Northwestern University.

Nelson, an Auburn High School graduate, is a bright and gifted reporter who brings enthusiasm, depth and skill to our staff.

Her first assignment was to tackle the human side of those affected by dilapidated living conditions at an Auburn apartment complex. Such poor conditions have left families in limbo, struggling to care for themselves. Please read the story on our site: http://bit.ly/cSFhTJ.

Nelson will be covering a wide range of topics and issues. We are pleased to have her here with us.
