Former Webmaster (Fall/Winter 2025-2026)

Hello in there! My name is Wes Lee, and it has been a huge pleasure to be a part of the CEFN team as a Drexel co-op intern. Being CEFN’s Webmaster has been a fun, exciting, and memorable co-op, especially for my first. My team of fellow Drexel interns really were a Dream team, and they were amazing to work with. As CEFN’s Webmaster, I was able to add the Newsletter Archival to the website, documenting all of our prior newsletters in one page. I was also able to take on an individual project where I created an AI manual, documenting and showcasing various AI tools that the team was made aware of through weekly webinars. I was also able to redesign and clean up many presentations to be much more on-brand, professional, and presentable for the future. Overall, I’m quite proud of my work, as I’m sure these contributions to CEFN will make it much easier for future Drexel Co-op teams.

Through my time working in CEFN, I have learned many soft skills for a more professional setting. A big kudos to both Sherry and the Dream team for making my first co-op so, so fantastic! Catch you on the flip side!

Former Webmaster (Spring/Summer 2024-2025)

Hi there, my name is Jeremy Senh! I am so honored to be a part of the CEFN team as a Drexel co-op intern during the Spring/Summer 2024-25 co-op cycle. Being the Webmaster in CEFN for the past six months has been some of the most memorable experiences that I’ve ever had especially with my team of Drexel co-op students. During my time here with the support from my supervisor, Sherry Hill, I took on a creative individual project where I worked on redesigning and remaking the website allowing CEFN to have a fresh start with a more clean, refined, intuitive user interface and user flow while also being responsive and accessible for the older adults and all users visiting our website on all devices. This was a long process but it was very rewarding to see my creativity and hard work paid off as I learned how to use WordPress and the helpful plugins that we use or introduce like Beaver Builder and Pods. I am very proud of my work especially in the Partners and Sponsors page and the Internship Testimonials page, both which were huge improvements from their original designs. Not only that, but I was able to introduce new tools and software to help improve the workflow of some of our tasks like Calendly for co-op interview scheduling.

CEFN has helped me grow not only as a UI/UX student, but also as a person with the many soft skills that I was able to gain throughout this co-op. Thank you to Jinny and Julia Veal who introduced Beaver Builder and started this project, and thank you Sherry and the 2024-25 Spring/Summer co-op team for making my first co-op unforgettable!

Former Webmaster (Fall/Winter 2024-2025)

As Webmaster, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Community Enrichment Fitness Network. During my time here, I gained invaluable WordPress experience and appreciated the autonomy to take initiative and find creative solutions to any challenges that arose. Working within a small, close-knit team has always been my preferred work environment, and it was incredibly rewarding to contribute to a cause that supports the senior population – an area that is deeply meaningful to me.

Former Webmaster (Spring/Summer 2023-2024)

My name is Eishan Ayene and I was the webmaster for CEFN. As the webmaster, my responsibilities involved designing the website, analyzing website analytics, and implementing features. Working for CEFN has been an amazing opportunity. Sherry has been an amazing boss who shows care for her organization and employees. She also provides us with so many resources to make our experience great. Everyone who works at CEFN will have something new they learn. CEFN also develops your connections and you have the opportunity to help the community in person. I have learned so much and had a lot of fun with my time here. When I first started working at CEFN, I was worried about working independently since it was my first work experience but quickly found out that I am able to work independently which helped build my confidence in the workplace. Working at CEFN showed me that I can take on multiple projects at once since we would have team projects that required communication. I have also developed my interview skills because CEFN gives us the opportunity to interview other students. Working here has also given me the chance to work with professionals through Catchafire,a non profit consulting organization that helps anyone who needs help with projects. These professionals can help you and teach you if you are willing to learn. Even though we worked remotely, my soft skills have improved a lot thanks to the type of positive environment that CEFN provides. I am very grateful to have been given the opportunity to work at CEFN. It allowed me to work flexibly in a way that I both learned and worked in a real environment. It has also allowed me to help seniors in the community have a healthier lifestyle which has been amazing. CEFN is a truly unique organization and anyone who works here will see how great it is.

Former Webmaster (Fall/Winter 2023-2024)

Throughout my time here at CEFN as the Webmaster, I have learned a lot about the type of worker that I want to be in my career. Working remotely with a team has shown me how adaptable I am to working conditions as I had to do multiple jobs besides those given as the Webmaster and how well I can collaborate with others, outside my field. Working here has also given me the gift of working with much more experienced teammates than me such as my time with Gabby and her team of UI/UX designers and researchers in the design and development of our prototype of the CEFN website. I did not learn many soft skills since I have excellent people skills, but I did learn more about how the way I work and complete tasks such as needing to slow down and proofread messages before sending them out. Overall, I’m very thankful to have the opportunity to work at CEFN. It enabled me to review the aspects of myself I can improve upon (whether it be for work or personal life) & allowed me to help others in the community live a healthier lifestyle.

Former Webmaster (Spring/Summer 2022-2023)

My name is Khuong Nguyen. I am the Webmaster at Community Enrichment Fitness Network. My responsibilities at the organization include collaborating with the Digital Media Designer to update the website as well as helping Sherry out with sending emails, invoices, and other miscellaneous tasks. After my experience at CEFN, I was able to improve my communication skills, understand the environment of a workplace, and have some experience developing a website using WordPress.

Former Webmaster (Fall/Winter 2022-2023)

Overall, I had a very insightful experience at CEFN while having my co-op there for the past six-months. I applied to CEFN as the webmaster intern, though I had to wear many other hats since I was the only one who applied. With that being said, there were still a various set of soft skills that I have learned over the course of the co-op. I learned the importance of designing based on the demographic you are targeting. For example, I had to create forms and fliers for the older adults going to the events and make them easier to read and navigate(larger/ simpler fonts, better organized). Another example is that I revamped common forms/documents to make them look more professional and easier to interact with for the sponsors or volunteers that would need them.

I also learned some better communication skills while working at CEFN. I had many opportunities present to an audience and it highlighted my strength to speak clearly & thoroughly to others so that they can follow along a lot easier. I also developed better email etiquette while when I had to send documents or announcements to sponsors, community partners, interns, or co-op interviewers
Another element I found helpful was when I had the opportunity to participate in the co-op interviews. I was able to ask questions to the students and rank their interviews based on their performance. It showed me how I can improve my own interviews, understanding what most companies/organizations generally look for in an employee/intern
The workload at CEFN was usually average (though it did become a bit heavier as event dates became closer). Completing assignments was very flexible(since it was remote and only 20 hours) and I had the opportunity to choose what tasks to complete first(unless there are ones with extreme importance).

I’m very thankful to have the opportunity to work at CEFN. It enabled me to review the aspects of myself I can improve upon(whether it be for work or personal life) & allowed me to help others in the community live a healthier lifestyle.

Former Webmaster (Spring/Summer 2021-2022)

If I were to describe my experience at CEFN, I would say that it’s relaxing. My main role as the website master allowed for a lot of room to work. I was a bit intimidated about having to learn how to use a program that I’d never even heard of while also juggling other workloads.

However, CEFN (Sherry Hill) offered an environment of allowing me to take my time to learn various nuances of WordPress bit by bit where I started to get the gist of the program while also learning to adapt how to do other CEFN work. CEFN’s learning environment coupled with encouragement by Ms. Sherry Hill to do what needed to be done as was possible allowed me to pace myself. Ms. Sherry also encouraged us to attend seminars and encouraged work with our coworkers and seek help if needed. Ultimately, CEFN is an internship for OUR sake, and I can’t help but be thankful for that. I was allowed to work on other aspects of my life during that time being while also learning more about myself.

Former Webmaster (Fall/Winter 2021-2022)

The first co-op I had at Drexel was at CEFN, and my time working with Sherry and the other interns is a time I’ll never forget! I got many opportunities to learn and experiment with web design, and Sherry was very flexible in the ways I went about researching new technologies to integrate into the website. She also gave lots of constructive feedback which helped me map out new web pages when needed, and she was very cheerful and friendly with everyone throughout my time with the org. I’m grateful to CEFN for granting me this experience, since it’s helped me gain lots of skills that I’ve been able to transfer to other co-ops and job experiences.

Former Webmaster (Fall/Winter 2020-2021)

Doing my first co-op as a webmaster for CEFN was such a great opportunity! The hours were flexible, the team that I worked with was welcoming and willing to collaborate, and most important was the opportunity to do something that made a difference for other people. I had the opportunity to make improvements to the website so that it would be easier to navigate and to update it with important information. While working for CEFN, I was able to get hands-on experience learning about a field that I was interested in and given the freedom to try new things. Overall, it was a great experience and I’m very thankful to Ms. Hill and the rest of CEFN for the opportunity to learn new skills and make a difference.
