Abstract	In 1978, Earl F. Strohbehn, professor of education at San Jose State University, established a trust fund through the ECT Foundation to help support a deserving graduate student's attendance at the Lake Okoboji (Iowa) Leadership conference. His mentor and friend, Lee Cochran, inspired the Okoboji conference to develop leaders in the field of educational communications and technology (ECT). It was Strohbehn's wish that in the event the Lake Okoboji conference was discontinued, his donation would be used to support graduate students in the field in the manner deemed best; hence, the current internship funding at the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) annual convention. The Lee W. Cochran estate provides funding through the ECT Foundation for the AECT Convention Internship Program. It strives to enhance the involvement of graduate students in AECT. The ECT Foundation, a non-profit foundation of the AECT, was established to carry out the purposes and programs of AECT that are charitable and educational in nature. The Foundation funds an extensive awards program that promotes scholarship and leadership in the field of ECT at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. In this article, the author introduces the class of 2008 AECT Conference interns. (ERIC).
