Dear Professor Whedon:

Thank you for aeeepting a position as an Education Advisor for the initial
program of the Atlanta Urban Corps. As you know, Bd Angus was cur liaison
with the Southern Regional Education Board when you were interviewed for the
position and there was some question as to how you would be paid. SREB has
transferred money designated for Urban Corps use to our budget. For your
educational consultence you will reeeive a stipend of $1,000 for the summer

program,

Your duties will inelude on the job visitation with interns and agency super-

visors, planning and conducting education seminars for small groups as well

as all interns, working in coordination with our field evaluation staff to

insure "job relevancy and education significance” of each internship, and

assisting the interns in their articulation of this experience as they return.

to their respective colleges and universities. Your duties will also include

counseling interns on their final report and reading and approving reports,
using the basie outline in the Internship Handbook. sl

We realize that many of your specific responsibilities are vague but we urge
you to be innovative and work with our evaluation staff, headed by Resna
Hemmer, in plaming details. We anticipate that your Urban Corps duties will
require roughly one-third of your time.

We will issue your stipend in four installments of $250.00 each on July 2, July

23, August 6, and the last check after intern reports have been edited and
approved by you.

This program is the first of its kind in the nation. Your initiative and interest
will be a very meaningful part of its success.

Sincerely ,
SAM A, WILLIAMS
