Interview progess (if that's what you want to call it)

I have been in constant contact with Liz Urbanski the past couple of weeks. She has been extremely helpful with the background information I need for my story. She has yet to give me any names of people that have benefited from the program.

I don’t know what to do at this point. Start entirely over, pick a new program, try to contact the media rep then finally try to contact people that have been through the program? Sounds like a lot in two days (especially between full school days and other class assignments). Help!

Here is an extremely rough draft of a potential feature lede:

College students are thinking about their future more in terms of money instead of happiness.

More students are graduating with a fancy degree and debt. In order to pay for the expenses of life-after-college and debt, students are looking for high paying jobs and not jobs they truly want.

The Janet L. Hoffman Loan Assistance Repayment Program’s (LARP)priorities are recent graduates in lower paying job fields. They provide a larger incentive for individuals to work in critical shortages in the public and non-profit sectors. According to LARP's 2007 annual report, in 2006 alone, 569 eligible applicants received awards for a total dollar amount of 2,464,975.
