VHVtv and the Fall 2021 UCR-VRC Student Interns


It has been 2 years since we filmed in person interviews. On October 22, 2021, we filmed our first in person interviews at the Veterans Expo in Murrieta with UC Riverside Veterans Resource Center Fall 2021 VHVtv Student Interns Jaspreet Kaur, Cameron Lewis, Isabelle Cherubin and Lawrence Ball. Thank You UCR VRC Coordinator Tami Thacker. https://veterans.ucr.edu

In early 2020, VHVtv co-producer Sandy Dee and Sheryl Shaffer had 4 production meetings at the University of California Riverside Veterans Resource Center to create a half hour VHVtv episode about the VRC. During these meetings, we were introduced to Richard Gonzales, a work study student who agreed to help us film on campus in mid-March 2020. The Covid 19 Pandemic started early 2020 and by mid-March the campus had been shut down. During this time, I had my first video conference call and realized I could use that platform to create VHVtv virtual interviews. I contacted Richard and asked if he would help me do this and he agreed and he edits using Premiere Pro.
VHVtv continues our collaboration with the VRC as we refresh Veterans Helping Veterans TV and are learning as we go.
