We are currently seeking two VCU undergraduates for an on-campus internship lasting the duration of Spring semester.

Interns will be asked to contribute approximately 4 hours per week to various tasks involved in the creation and compilation of material about the Virginia Commonwealth University for our forthcoming website, book and other publications (including articles, advice, reviews, blog entries, etc.)

Interns will also help build and strengthen relationships with VCU’s student body, student government, administration and campus publications.

Interns must be organized, responsible and outgoing. Exceptional interns may have multiple items published, and may be asked to return in a more prominent capacity in subsequent years.

We encourage students from all class years and majors to apply. We actively seek representatives of all genders, races, religions, nationalities, sexual orientations and political affiliations. The internship is unpaid and runs through the Spring semester of the 2007-2008 school year.
